The stability of adaptive synchronization of chaotic systems

http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/chaos/20/1/10.1063/1.3279646

January 14, 2010

In past works, various schemes for adaptive synchronization of chaotic systems have been proposed. The stability of such schemes is central to their utilization. As an example addressing this issue, we consider a recently proposed adaptive scheme for maintaining the synchronized state of identical coupled chaotic systems in the presence of a priori unknown slow temporal drift in the couplings. For this illustrative example, we develop an extension of the master stability function technique to study synchronization stability with adaptive coupling. Using this formulation, we examine the local stability of synchronization for typical chaotic orbits and for unstable periodic orbits within the synchronized chaotic attractor (bubbling). Numerical experiments illustrating the results are presented. We observe that the stable range of synchronism can be sensitively dependent on the adaptation parameters, and we discuss the strong implication of bubbling for practically achievable adaptive synchronization. We also find that for our coupled systems with adaptation, bubbling can be caused by a slow temporal drift in the coupling strength.

Map model for synchronization of systems of many coupled oscillators

http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/chaos/20/2/10.1063/1.3357983

May 3, 2010

Synchronization of many coupled oscillators is a generic issue in a wide variety of natural situations. We consider a discrete time map model for the study of such problems. Issues addressed include the effects of noise, oscillation frequency diversity, and network topology, particularly community structure.

The dynamics of network coupled phase oscillators: an ensemble approach

http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/chaos/21/2/10.1063/1.3596711

June 28, 2011

We consider the dynamics of many phase oscillators that interact through a coupling network. For a given network connectivity we further consider an ensemble of such systems where, for each ensemble member, the set of oscillator natural frequencies is independently and randomly chosen according to a given distribution function. We then seek a statistical description of the dynamics of this ensemble. Use of this approach allows us to apply the recently developed ansatz of Ott and Antonsen [Chaos 18, 037113 (2008)] to the marginal distribution of the ensemble of states at each node. This, in turn, results in a reduced set of ordinary differential equations determining these marginal distribution functions. The new set facilitates the analysis of network dynamics in several ways: (i) the time evolution of the reduced system of ensemble equations is much smoother, and thus numerical solutions can be obtained much faster by use of longer time steps; (ii) the new set of equations can be used as a basis for obtaining analytical results; and (iii) for a certain type of network, a reduction to a low dimensional description of the entire network dynamics is possible. We illustrate our approach with numerical experiments on a network version of the classical Kuramoto problem, first with a unimodal frequency distribution, and then with a bimodal distribution. In the latter case, the network dynamics is characterized by bifurcations and hysteresis involving a variety of steady and periodic attractors.

Multiscale dynamics in communities of phase oscillators

http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/chaos/22/1/10.1063/1.3672513

January 3, 2012

We investigate the dynamics of systems of many coupled phase oscillators with heterogeneous frequencies. We suppose that the oscillators occur in M groups. Each oscillator is connected to other oscillators in its group with “attractive” coupling, such that the coupling promotes synchronization within the group. The coupling between oscillators in different groups is “repulsive,” i.e., their oscillation phases repel. To address this problem, we reduce the governing equations to a lower-dimensional form via the ansatz of Ott and Antonsen, Chaos 18, 037113 (2008). We first consider the symmetric case where all group parameters are the same, and the attractive and repulsive coupling are also the same for each of the M groups. We find a manifold LL of neutrally stable equilibria, and we show that all other equilibria are unstable. For M ≥ 3, LL has dimension M − 2, and for M = 2, it has dimension 1. To address the general asymmetric case, we then introduce small deviations from symmetry in the group and coupling parameters. Doing a slow/fast timescale analysis, we obtain slow time evolution equations for the motion of the M groups on the manifold LL . We use these equations to study the dynamics of the groups and compare the results with numerical simulations.

Influence of functionalized fullerene structure on polymer photovoltaic degradation

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2009.11.020

2010

Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells, Volume 94, 537 
 
The time dependence of device performance has been measured for photocells using blends containing the conjugated polymer, poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) with two different functionalized C60 electron acceptor molecules: commercially available [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) or [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid octadecyl ester (PCBOD) produced in this laboratory. Performance was characterized by the short-circuit current output of the devices, with the time dependence of PCBM samples typically degrading exponentially. Variations in the characteristic lifetime of the devices were observed to depend on the molar fraction of the electron acceptor molecules (calculated with respect to the MEH-PPV monomer fraction). In comparison to the PCBM samples, the stability of the PCBOD blends was significantly enhanced, with a one or two order of magnitude improvement. Corresponding spectroscopic data with similar time evolution as the transport measurements suggest an independent means for determining and understanding degradation mechanisms.

Effects of energy offsets and molecular packing on exciton and charge carrier dynamics in small-molecule donor-acceptor composites

http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.2023402

2013

Proceedings of SPIE, Volume 8827, 88270Q 
 
We present a study of optical, photoluminescent (PL), and photoconductive properties of small-molecule D/A bulk het- erojunctions of functionalized fluorinated anthradithiophene (ADT-R-F) and pentacene (Pn-R-F8) derivatives. We chose one of the ADT derivatives, ADT-TES-F, which exhibits a 2D “brick-work” π-stacking, as the donor, and ADT-TIPS-F (2D “brick-work”), ADT-TSBS-F (1D “sandwich-herringbone”), Pn-TIPS-F8 (2D “brick-work”), or Pn-TCHS-F8 (1D “sandwich-herringbone”), as acceptors. We measured PL and photoconductivity at time scales from sub-nanoseconds to many seconds after photoexcitation, at various acceptor concentrations, under various experimental conditions. The choice of acceptors enabled us to distinguish between effects of the LUMO energy offsets between the donor and acceptor molecules and those of the molecular packing in the acceptor domains on exciton and charge carrier dynamics.

Numerical Modeling of Time-Resolved Photocurrent in Organic Semiconductor Films

http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.2023485

2013

Proceedings of SPIE, Volume 8830, 88301S 
 
We performed numerical simulations of transient photocurrents in organic thin films, in conjunction with exper- iments. This enabled us to quantify the contribution of multiple charge generation pathways to charge carrier photogeneration, as well as extract parameters that characterize charge transport, in functionalized anthra- dithiophene (ADT-TES-F) films prepared using two different deposition methods: drop casting on an untreated substrate and spin casting on a pentafluorobenzenethiol (PFBT)-treated substrate.

We report on the dependence of time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent in small-molecule bulk heterojunctions on the donor− acceptor (D/A) LUMO offset, D/A separation, and acceptor domain structure. We chose a high-performance functionalized fluorinated anthradithiophene (ADT) derivative, ADT-TES-F, as the donor and two other fluorinated ADT derivatives, ADT-R-F (where R is a variable side group), as well as two functionalized fluorinated pentacene (Pn) derivatives, Pn-R-F8, as acceptors. The choice of ADT and Pn acceptors enabled us to separate the effects of the D/A LUMO offset, which was approximately zero in the case of ADT acceptors and ∼0.55 eV in the case of Pn acceptors, from those of molecular packing on the optoelectronic properties.

We present a model that describes nanosecond (ns) time-scale photocurrent dynamics in functionalized anthradithiophene (ADT) films and ADT-based donor-acceptor (D/A) composites. By fitting numerically simulated photocurrents to experimental data, we quantify contributions of multiple pathways of charge carrier photogeneration to the photocurrent, as well as extract parameters that characterize charge transport (CT) in organic films including charge carrier mobilities, trap densities, hole trap depth, and trapping and recombination rates.

Enhanced charge photogeneration promoted by crystallinity in small-molecule donor-acceptor bulk heterojunctions

Applied Physics Letters, Volume 105, 043301 
 
We examined sub-nanosecond time-scale charge carrier dynamics in crystalline films of a functionalized anthradithiophene (ADT) donor (D) with three different acceptor (A) molecules. A four-fold enhancement in ultrafast charge carrier separation efficiencywas observedinD/A blends with a fullerene acceptor added at 7–10wt.%concentrations,whereas a gradual decrease in peak photocurrent amplitude with acceptor concentration was observed with functionalized pentacene and indenofluorene acceptors. The results were directly correlated with the ADT-tri(ethylsilyl)ethynyl-F donor crystallinity. In the best- performing blends, the presence of crystalline acceptor domains was also established.

Design of organic ternary blends and small-molecule bulk heterojunctions: photophysical considerations

http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/1.JPE.5.057208

January 9, 2015

Volume 5, 057208 
 
We explored relationships between photophysical processes and solar cell characteristics in solution-processable bulk heterojunctions (BHJs), in particular: (1) polymer donor:fullerene acceptor:small-molecule (SM) nonfullerene acceptor, (2) polymer donor:SM donor:SM nonfullerene acceptor, and (3) SM donor:SM nonfullerene or fullerene acceptor. Addition of a nonfullerene SM acceptor to “efficient” polymer:fullerene BHJs led to a reduction in power conversion efficiency (PCE), mostly due to decreased charge photogeneration efficiency and increased disorder. By contrast, addition of an SM donor to “inefficient” polymer:SM nonfullerene acceptor BHJs led to a factor of two to three improvement in the PCE, due to improved charge photogeneration efficiency and transport. In most blends, exciplex formation was observed and correlated with a reduced short-circuit current (Jsc) without negatively impacting the open-circuit voltage (Voc). A factor of ∼5 higher PCE was observed in SM donor:fullerene acceptor BHJs as compared to SMBHJs with the same SM donor but nonfullerene acceptor, due to enhanced charge carrier photogeneration in the blend with fullerene. Our study revealed that the HOMO and LUMO energies of molecules comprising a blend are not reliable parameters for predicting Voc of the blend, and an understanding of the photophysics is necessary for interpreting solar cell characteristics and improving the molecular design of BHJs.

Additional Information

I decided to study Physics due to a deep curiosity about the underlying mechanisms of the world we live in. As I come to the end of my doctorate work, I find my interest in causes evolving, changing its focus from the physical reality we live in to the people who inhabit it. Data science offers perhaps the best opportunity for this kind of work that has ever existed, providing an unparalleled chance to peek inside the drivers of human behavior. 
 
Big data holds a wealth of information inside it, but without analysis, it is just 1s and 0s encoded onto silicon platters and embedded in solid state matrices. The central work of my doctorate involved piecing apart the many different predictors that contributed to a single transient current measurement; the process of data mining and analysis is this writ large, and I relish the opportunity to try my skills at bigger, even more complex problems. I am passionate about improving the world through science and technology, and especially in the ability of the internet to flatten barriers and widen collaboration. 
 
I am drawn to the development of tools to support predictive analytics. While great strides have been made in the last few years in bringing predictive tools to the existing BI community, there is still a great deal of work to be done. I want to be a part of that process, opening up the power of prediction to the world.

Responsibilities 
I do a lot of complicated work. I work on IoT programming Raspberry Pi's and such. I do machine learning and recently mastered deep learning. I'm very familiar with statistics and statistical operations such as linear and logistic regression. I stream data from Hbase through Python and classify it using machine learning methodology such as Stochastic Gradient Descent, Kernel Approximation, Kmeans, etc. I've scored above an 86% accuracy rate on loan delinquency solely by training a neural network and producing probabilities that any number will fall in to a specific class (this was deep learning). I do principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality of the data to optimize efficiency when feeding the data to the stochastic gradient descent classifier and/or kernel approximation. Once I classify the data I can split the data into training data and test data and make a one-hot matrix for all of the classes. Then I feed the data to several layers of convolutional neural networks with automatic back propagation. Once the training is over I do dropout which reduces the chance of over fitting the data. Once that is over I feed the data to multinomial logistic regression and get a prediction on the test set. After that I use kaggle or some other tool (ROC/Confusion Matrix) to measure my accuracy.

May 2009 to Present

PhD candidate in CS Dept., May 2009 - till date 
I have worked on development of various Bayesian Non parametric models to cluster- ing/classification applications. The models are described below. 
Nested Dirichlet Process (NDP) is a non parametric hierarchical model which uses a stick breaking construction to select among various Dirichlet process distributions. 
NDP is a model that is capable of modeling a multivariable object like a document and can be used to classify or cluster documents based on underlying topic distributions. 
We developed a classification model and a variable selection method based on NDP. 
We explored various density estimation techniques for the NDP model which include 
Gibbs sampler, Block gibbs sampler, Variational approximation methods and Particle 
filter methods. 
Nested Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (NHDP) was developed as an extension to the 
NDP model that allows various documents across clusters to share same pool of topics. 
This allows NHDP to better model a corpus or corpora of documents, infer the under- lying clusters and also cluster the documents into relevant groups. We briefly explored 
application of this model to classifying haplotypes in genetics. We explored various 
sampling techniques (Basic Gibbs sampler, Particle filters, Variational approximation 
methods, Block Gibbs) during this work. We have applied the models to simulated 
datasets as well as real datasets like NIPS dataset. 
Recommendation Models We developed a Non parametric Bayesian model for the problem of estimating user ratings for new items assuming availability of some rat- 
ing/review history. We used of CiteUlike data and Movie lens data for studying this 
model. We are currently working on a social network based recommender, which lever- ages a user's friendship network to bolster the recommendations. We model the Flixster 
data and use scalable algorithms like variational Stochastic gradient to analyze the data and provide recommendations.

1986 to 1992

• Finite element analysis theory. Developed error bounds and estimates for determining the accuracy of numerical finite element solutions to eigenvalue problems. The referee reviewing the paper in which this work was presented (Phys. Rev. D43, 1991, 3524) commented that "this paper gives, for the first time, a careful error analysis of the finite element method as applied to the one-dimensional quantum field equations. This work should have been done a long time ago. As a result of the work presented here, we can, with confidence, use the method of finite elements to solve quantum systems.'' 
• Finite element analysis software. Software suite for finite element analysis in an arbitrary number of dimensions. Such code is required for analyzing quantum-mechanical systems with more than a single particle.

Scalable ML Systems and Theory 
–Slow workers are a big bottleneck in distributed learning systems. We provide a generic 
Machine Learning system (backed by a strong theory of convergence and variance bounds 
[7])that is agnostic to the slow worker problem. Our generic architecture when implemented 
in hadoop outperforms the current state of the art distributed learning systems (GraphLab, 
PSGD etc.) over a wide class of problems (e.g. Dictionary Learning, Topic Modeling, Mixed 
Membership Stochastic Block Models etc.). It is better by several orders of magnitude in 
speed, scalability as well as quality of results. 
–[3] provides convergence guarantees to Stale Synchronous Parallel based Deep Neural 
Network. The distributed DNN considered in this case is highly scalable and layer-wise 
parallelizable. 
[…] provide a Stale Synchronous Parallel model of large scale learning that is 
based on parameter server style distributed estimation. The approach is highly scalable 
with theoretical convergence guarantees. [1,6] provides further theoretical analysis that 
guarantees a stronger convergence and guaranteed variance decrease closer to the optima. 
–[13,15] provide a hadoop based coupled, constrained tensor factorization scheme that is 
scalable to trillions of parameters and outperforms and outscales state of the art: GigaTensor 
etc. 
 
Scalable Latent Space Learning for Social Sciences 
–We model the conversation roles users play in online forums, where discussions happen in 
forum threads, using active sub-networks. The resultant latent space model [10,11] combines 
network and text, and uses parallelized stochastic variational inference, to scale to 
millions of users and trillions of forum posts for the first time in network discovery literature. 
–[12] uses MPI to provide a parallelized constrained topic modeling (LDA)approach (scalable 
to millions of documents) that gives distinct semantic topics by constraining the set 
of words that can co-occur in a topic. 
–[14] uses data mining to automatically assign definiteness to a noun phrase in a discourse.

September 2015 to Present

Accomplishments 
- Built an automated system on top of Amazon Web Services to find out what combination of variables gives the best entropy and longevity to use as a cookie replacement. This system: 
- Analyzes all available collected variables and builds metrics to see how well/poorly they perform (Hadoop, Pig, custom UDFs in Java) 
- Figures out where to "fork" models (Hadoop, Pig, Sqoop, SQL) 
- Separates out the large data sets into individual variables into S3 with just enough data to analyze one variable at a time in memory (Pig). Split data set is then decompressed and each metric is processed individually. Various things can be calculated at this phase, from simple exploratory data analysis from survival analysis models (R). Results are stored in either a DB, or R files for later display in a Shiny docker app.  
- Next, the system runs a custom optimizer that gives a very good educated guess on how a model would perform in relation to Entropy and Longevity based on all the metrics calculated (Java). It would be impossible to run all the available combinations of variables together (n choose k, varying k<=n). The optimizer solved that by giving us a handful of models we should focus our efforts on based on certain constraints we want. 
- Validates the model on the data (Hadoop, Pig) 
- Gives reports on the models performance (SQL) 
- I did all of the above (idea/design/coding/implementation) all by myself. Project proved more than successful and is being re-factored for implementation in a production environment.

• During the summer of 2013 I worked as a Research Assistant at the 
Transportation Research Institute at the University of Michigan-Ann 
Arbor. Responsibilities included data analysis on large datasets of auto 
accidents (millions of observations). The purpose of the analysis was to provide results in aiding research for the Ford forward collision warning 
systems. Furthermore, the analysis attempted to understand the potential 
benefits of adaptive occupant protection systems that operate based on information from frontal crash-avoidance systems. Work included linear 
regression modeling, mixed models, parsing data, clustering, spline & loess regression, general non-parametric methods, functional data 
analysis, examining QQ plots, time plots and distributional curves. 
Analysis of data sets of USA crash data (provided by Ford motor 
company) to construct and observe distributional changes in crash 
severity and risk for vehicles with and without frontal crash avoidance 
systems in place. SAS was software used for this analysis.

March 2013 to June 2013

Worked with one student in the Biostatistics PhD program and an employee of the University of Michigan Library to enhance a 
University of Michigan Library search engine to more accurately pull up information for patrons. We applied several machine learning 
techniques to observe the predictive behavior of the searches (using 
R). These techniques included Random Forests, Nearest Neighbors, 
Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression. Auxiliary Machine 
Learning techniques used include but not limited to: neural networks, 
hidden markov chain modeling, and Bayesian modeling.

Student Assistant

East Lansing, MI
-

September 2011 to October 2011

Myself along with two other economics students performed a senior 
project on economic data of asset prices and applied ARMA/ARIMA 
modeling to understand asset prices and predict prices as a function of market activity. Ultimately, weak evidence was found to predict asset 
prices based on the aforementioned statistical methods. STATA was 
used for this analysis.

Research Assistant

-

August 2009 to August 2010

As Research Assistant for the office of the President (Michael M. 
Crow) at Arizona State University my primary responsibilities 
included working on a small team doing research into sustainability 
initiatives and programs at leading universities around the country. 
The primary purpose was for spearheading the first degree-granting 
program in sustainability at Arizona State University (the first school in the United States dedicated to such an academic inquiry). The 
research done by my team was apart of a larger research effort 
presented at a sustainability conference at the University of Surrey 
(United Kingdom University). My primary end product was collection of the data and to write an analysis that included financial 
expenditures of other institutions towards their sustainability efforts. 
Furthermore, the data collected was entered into Excel (essentially 
creating a workable data set) and pivot tables, among other Excel data 
analysis tools, were used for elementary data analysis. Furthermore, the report included policy recommendations as to possible curriculum for the school to be established at Arizona State based upon what 
other institutions were engaging in on their campuses in relation to an academic understanding of sustainability.

* Designed and implemented the Extract Transform Load (ETL) workflow of an internal text mining 
application. This included an autonomous search­and­retrieval algorithm that could identify and capture 
documents in specified formats on target domains, convert those documents to a standardized 
plain­text format and warehouse the processed data for users to examine with ontological analysis 
tools. Product was written in Java and MySQL. 
* Created a data extraction and cleaning tool that automated the retrieval of target documents from numerous RESTful data services. The tool used a detection algorithm which generated an accuracy 
value based on the document's metadata and collected any documents exceeding a given accuracy 
threshold. Flagged documents were then loaded into a local file store for text mining. This allowed 
large collections of documents to be acquired in hours or days instead of the months needed for manual 
searches. Product was written in Java. 
* Designed and implemented a document parsing algorithm which could read PDF and HTML 
documents, identify and extract common street address patterns, reformat based on USPS guidelines, 
retrieve geolocation information from multiple sources, perform a heuristic best­guess for the correct 
location and output all patterns in an XML (KML) format. Users could then view the results in supported 
visualization applications alongside other datasets or model output. This allowed input data to be 
generated in minutes instead of the days or weeks needed for manual processing. Product was written in Java. 
* Executed the redesign of the data processing software for the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). The 
instrument was aboard NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite and is scheduled to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2016. Products were written in C and C­shell 
(TCSH). 
* Extended the capabilities of the GLIDER application (a NASA­funded visualization, analysis and mining 
tool for satellite data, written in Java). Improvements include importing and visualizing 3D mesh objects and performing heuristic subset operations on large input datasets. 
* Developed a suite of applications which allowed analysts to interactively stress test and profile 
distributed simulation environments (DMSO, CERTI) by creating variable amounts of network traffic or processor load. This enabled analysts to monitor the effect of a single node on the overall 
environment's timing and synchronization mechanism. Products were written in Java and C++. 
* Developed a Google Maps application for the NASA SERVIR initiative which allowed disaster 
management personnel to collect and organize field data as well as visualize multiple discrete datasets in a bounded geographic area of interest. Product was written in PHP and PostGIS. 
* Developed a Microsoft Virtual Earth web application which allowed analysts to visualize select K­12 
school locations as point data alongside supported datasets (such as real time weather models). This 
provided users with more concise, up­to­date ground truth during state­ or county­wide emergencies. 
Product was written in C# (ASP.NET) and MS­SQL.

* Developed an application to facilitate intra­office document management. The new system allowed 
office staff to share, collaborate and archive digital documentation more efficiently than physical media. 
This allowed office personnel to locate documentation instantly rather than spend minutes locating 
physical copies. Product was written in Java and PostgreSQL. 
* Created and maintained a content management system which allowed enrolled students to view course 
lectures and materials on the web. This replaced the department's VHS tape based legacy system, 
removed the physical media delivery bottleneck and allowed students simultaneous digital access to previously limited physical materials. Product was written in PHP and MySQL. 
* Developed a web application which allowed attendees to register for a department­hosted engineering 
management conference, view up­to­date presentation information and identify local points of interest. 
Product was written in PHP and MySQL. 
* Created a web application which allowed users to collect survey information and automatically generate 
daily reports based on the collected data. Product was written in PHP and MySQL. 
* Developed numerous websites for cooperative projects between the Industrial Systems Engineering 
department and other departments on campus.

Downregulation of beta-microglobulin to diminish T-lymphocyte lysis of non-syngeneic cell sources of engineered heart tissue constructs

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-6041/10/3/034101/meta;jsessionid=8B6AC8944061304005CBFB5430EDE1E1.c1.iopscience.cld.iop.org

May 16, 2015

The presence of non-autologous major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules on the surface of the grafted cells is one of the main reasons for their rejection in non-syngeneic hosts. We present a straightforward strategy to decrease the presence of MHC-I by shRNA inhibition of beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), a conservative light chain of MHC-I, on the surface of two main cell types that are used to engineer heart tissue constructs. 
 
Engineered heart tissue constructs can be generated by combining mouse WT19 fibroblasts and mouse embryonic stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (mESC-CM). WT19 fibroblasts were stably transduced with an anti-B2M shRNA, which yielded a cell line with dramatically reduced B2M expression levels (16  ±  11% of mock treated control cell line). Interferon gamma treatment increased the levels of B2M expression by >3-fold in both control and transduced fibroblasts; yet, B2M expression levels still remained very low in the transduced cells. When compared with their unmodified counterparts, transduced fibroblasts caused 5.7-fold lesser activation of cognate T-cells. In vivo assessment of B2M downregulation was performed by analyzing the preferential survival of B2M-downregulated cells in the intraperitoneal cavity of allogeneic mice. Both B2M-downregulated fibroblasts and B2M-downregulated myocytes survived significantly better when compared to their unmodified counterparts (2.01  ±  0.4 and 5.07  ±  1.6 fold increase in survival, respectively). Notably, the preferential survival of B2M-downregulated cells persisted in allogeneic hosts with normal levels of natural killer cells, although the effect was lesser in magnitude. 
 
Use of shRNA against beta-2-microglobulin offers a simple and effective approach to minimize immunogenicity of the main cellular components of cardiac tissue constructs in non-syngeneic recipients.

Exposure to Phthalates Affects Calcium Handling and Intercellular Connectivity of Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0121927

March 23, 2015

BACKGROUND: 
The pervasive nature of plastics has raised concerns about the impact of continuous exposure to plastic additives on human health. Of particular concern is the use of phthalates in the production of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used phthalate ester plasticizer that imparts flexibility and elasticity to PVC products. Recent epidemiological studies have reported correlations between urinary phthalate concentrations and cardiovascular disease, including an increased risk of high blood pressure and coronary risk. Yet, there is little direct evidence linking phthalate exposure to adverse effects in human cells, including cardiomyocytes. 
METHODS AND RESULTS: 
The effect of DEHP on calcium handling was examined using monolayers of gCAMP3 human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, which contain an endogenous calcium sensor. Cardiomyocytes were exposed to DEHP (5 - 50 μg/mL), and calcium transients were recorded using a Zeiss confocal imaging system. DEHP exposure (24 - 72 hr) had a negative chronotropic and inotropic effect on cardiomyocytes, increased the minimum threshold voltage required for external pacing, and modified connexin-43 expression. Application of Wy-14,643 (100 μM), an agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, did not replicate DEHP's effects on calcium transient morphology or spontaneous beating rate. 
CONCLUSIONS: 
Phthalates can affect the normal physiology of human cardiomyocytes, including DEHP elicited perturbations in cardiac calcium handling and intercellular connectivity. Our findings call for additional studies to clarify the extent by which phthalate exposure can alter cardiac function, particularly in vulnerable patient populations who are at risk for high phthalate exposure.

Assessment of K-Ras mutant frequency and micronucleus incidence in the mouse duodenum following 90-days of exposure to Cr(VI) in drinking water

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1383571813000752

June 1, 2013

Chronic exposure to high concentrations of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] as sodium dichromate dihydrate (SDD) in drinking water induces duodenal tumors in mice, but the mode of action (MOA) for these tumors has been a subject of scientific debate. To evaluate the tumor-site-specific genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of SDD in the mouse small intestine, tissue pathology and cytogenetic damage were evaluated in duodenal crypt and villus enterocytes from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 0.3-520mg/L SDD for 7 and 90 days. Allele-competitive blocker PCR (ACB-PCR) was used to investigate the induction of a sensitive, tumor-relevant mutation, specifically in vivo K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutation, in scraped duodenal epithelium following 90 days exposure. Cytotoxicity was evident in the villus as disruption of cellular arrangement, desquamation, nuclear atypia and blunting. Following 90-day treatment, aberrant nuclei, occurring primarily at villi tips, were significantly increased at ≥60mg/L SDD. However, in the crypt compartment, there were no dose-related effects on mitotic and apoptotic indices or the formation of aberrant nuclei indicating that Cr(VI)-induced cytotoxicity was limited to the villi. Cr(VI) caused a dose-dependent proliferative response in the duodenal crypt as evidenced by an increase in crypt area and increased number of crypt enterocytes. Spontaneous K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutations in untreated mice were higher than expected, in the range of 10(-2) to 10(-3); however no treatment-related trend in the K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutation was observed. The high spontaneous background K-Ras mutant frequency and Cr(VI) dose-related increases in crypt enterocyte proliferation, without dose-related increase in K-Ras mutant frequency, micronuclei formation, or change in mitotic or apoptotic indices, are consistent with a lack of genotoxicity in the crypt compartment, and a MOA involving accumulation of mutations late in carcinogenesis as a consequence of sustained regenerative proliferation.

* Designed and implemented the Extract Transform Load (ETL) workflow of an internal text mining 
application. This included an autonomous search­and­retrieval algorithm that could identify and capture 
documents in specified formats on target domains, convert those documents to a standardized 
plain­text format and warehouse the processed data for users to examine with ontological analysis 
tools. Product was written in Java and MySQL. 
* Created a data extraction and cleaning tool that automated the retrieval of target documents from numerous RESTful data services. The tool used a detection algorithm which generated an accuracy 
value based on the document's metadata and collected any documents exceeding a given accuracy 
threshold. Flagged documents were then loaded into a local file store for text mining. This allowed 
large collections of documents to be acquired in hours or days instead of the months needed for manual 
searches. Product was written in Java. 
* Designed and implemented a document parsing algorithm which could read PDF and HTML 
documents, identify and extract common street address patterns, reformat based on USPS guidelines, 
retrieve geolocation information from multiple sources, perform a heuristic best­guess for the correct 
location and output all patterns in an XML (KML) format. Users could then view the results in supported 
visualization applications alongside other datasets or model output. This allowed input data to be 
generated in minutes instead of the days or weeks needed for manual processing. Product was written in Java. 
* Executed the redesign of the data processing software for the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). The 
instrument was aboard NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite and is scheduled to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2016. Products were written in C and C­shell 
(TCSH). 
* Extended the capabilities of the GLIDER application (a NASA­funded visualization, analysis and mining 
tool for satellite data, written in Java). Improvements include importing and visualizing 3D mesh objects and performing heuristic subset operations on large input datasets. 
* Developed a suite of applications which allowed analysts to interactively stress test and profile 
distributed simulation environments (DMSO, CERTI) by creating variable amounts of network traffic or processor load. This enabled analysts to monitor the effect of a single node on the overall 
environment's timing and synchronization mechanism. Products were written in Java and C++. 
* Developed a Google Maps application for the NASA SERVIR initiative which allowed disaster 
management personnel to collect and organize field data as well as visualize multiple discrete datasets in a bounded geographic area of interest. Product was written in PHP and PostGIS. 
* Developed a Microsoft Virtual Earth web application which allowed analysts to visualize select K­12 
school locations as point data alongside supported datasets (such as real time weather models). This 
provided users with more concise, up­to­date ground truth during state­ or county­wide emergencies. 
Product was written in C# (ASP.NET) and MS­SQL.

office staff to share, collaborate and archive digital documentation more efficiently than physical media. 
This allowed office personnel to locate documentation instantly rather than spend minutes locating 
physical copies. Product was written in Java and PostgreSQL. 
* Created and maintained a content management system which allowed enrolled students to view course 
lectures and materials on the web. This replaced the department's VHS tape based legacy system, 
removed the physical media delivery bottleneck and allowed students simultaneous digital access to previously limited physical materials. Product was written in PHP and MySQL. 
* Developed a web application which allowed attendees to register for a department­hosted engineering 
management conference, view up­to­date presentation information and identify local points of interest. 
Product was written in PHP and MySQL.

Downregulation of beta-microglobulin to diminish T-lymphocyte lysis of non-syngeneic cell sources of engineered heart tissue constructs

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-6041/10/3/034101/meta;jsessionid=8B6AC8944061304005CBFB5430EDE1E1.c1.iopscience.cld.iop.org

May 16, 2015

The presence of non-autologous major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules on the surface of the grafted cells is one of the main reasons for their rejection in non-syngeneic hosts. We present a straightforward strategy to decrease the presence of MHC-I by shRNA inhibition of beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), a conservative light chain of MHC-I, on the surface of two main cell types that are used to engineer heart tissue constructs. 
 
Engineered heart tissue constructs can be generated by combining mouse WT19 fibroblasts and mouse embryonic stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (mESC-CM). WT19 fibroblasts were stably transduced with an anti-B2M shRNA, which yielded a cell line with dramatically reduced B2M expression levels (16  ±  11% of mock treated control cell line). Interferon gamma treatment increased the levels of B2M expression by >3-fold in both control and transduced fibroblasts; yet, B2M expression levels still remained very low in the transduced cells. When compared with their unmodified counterparts, transduced fibroblasts caused 5.7-fold lesser activation of cognate T-cells. In vivo assessment of B2M downregulation was performed by analyzing the preferential survival of B2M-downregulated cells in the intraperitoneal cavity of allogeneic mice. Both B2M-downregulated fibroblasts and B2M-downregulated myocytes survived significantly better when compared to their unmodified counterparts (2.01  ±  0.4 and 5.07  ±  1.6 fold increase in survival, respectively). Notably, the preferential survival of B2M-downregulated cells persisted in allogeneic hosts with normal levels of natural killer cells, although the effect was lesser in magnitude.

Exposure to Phthalates Affects Calcium Handling and Intercellular Connectivity of Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0121927

March 23, 2015

BACKGROUND: 
The pervasive nature of plastics has raised concerns about the impact of continuous exposure to plastic additives on human health. Of particular concern is the use of phthalates in the production of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used phthalate ester plasticizer that imparts flexibility and elasticity to PVC products. Recent epidemiological studies have reported correlations between urinary phthalate concentrations and cardiovascular disease, including an increased risk of high blood pressure and coronary risk. Yet, there is little direct evidence linking phthalate exposure to adverse effects in human cells, including cardiomyocytes. 
METHODS AND RESULTS: 
The effect of DEHP on calcium handling was examined using monolayers of gCAMP3 human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, which contain an endogenous calcium sensor. Cardiomyocytes were exposed to DEHP (5 - 50 μg/mL), and calcium transients were recorded using a Zeiss confocal imaging system. DEHP exposure (24 - 72 hr) had a negative chronotropic and inotropic effect on cardiomyocytes, increased the minimum threshold voltage required for external pacing, and modified connexin-43 expression. Application of Wy-14,643 (100 μM), an agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, did not replicate DEHP's effects on calcium transient morphology or spontaneous beating rate. 
CONCLUSIONS: 
Phthalates can affect the normal physiology of human cardiomyocytes, including DEHP elicited perturbations in cardiac calcium handling and intercellular connectivity. Our findings call for additional studies to clarify the extent by which phthalate exposure can alter cardiac function, particularly in vulnerable patient populations who are at risk for high phthalate exposure.

Assessment of K-Ras mutant frequency and micronucleus incidence in the mouse duodenum following 90-days of exposure to Cr(VI) in drinking water

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1383571813000752

June 1, 2013

Chronic exposure to high concentrations of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] as sodium dichromate dihydrate (SDD) in drinking water induces duodenal tumors in mice, but the mode of action (MOA) for these tumors has been a subject of scientific debate. To evaluate the tumor-site-specific genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of SDD in the mouse small intestine, tissue pathology and cytogenetic damage were evaluated in duodenal crypt and villus enterocytes from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 0.3-520mg/L SDD for 7 and 90 days. Allele-competitive blocker PCR (ACB-PCR) was used to investigate the induction of a sensitive, tumor-relevant mutation, specifically in vivo K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutation, in scraped duodenal epithelium following 90 days exposure. Cytotoxicity was evident in the villus as disruption of cellular arrangement, desquamation, nuclear atypia and blunting. Following 90-day treatment, aberrant nuclei, occurring primarily at villi tips, were significantly increased at ≥60mg/L SDD. However, in the crypt compartment, there were no dose-related effects on mitotic and apoptotic indices or the formation of aberrant nuclei indicating that Cr(VI)-induced cytotoxicity was limited to the villi. Cr(VI) caused a dose-dependent proliferative response in the duodenal crypt as evidenced by an increase in crypt area and increased number of crypt enterocytes. Spontaneous K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutations in untreated mice were higher than expected, in the range of 10(-2) to 10(-3); however no treatment-related trend in the K-Ras codon 12 GAT mutation was observed. The high spontaneous background K-Ras mutant frequency and Cr(VI) dose-related increases in crypt enterocyte proliferation, without dose-related increase in K-Ras mutant frequency, micronuclei formation, or change in mitotic or apoptotic indices, are consistent with a lack of genotoxicity in the crypt compartment, and a MOA involving accumulation of mutations late in carcinogenesis as a consequence of sustained regenerative proliferation.

An interference-free fluorescent assay of telomerase for the high-throughput analysis of inhibitors

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14622960

December 2003

We have developed a telomerase assay that can quickly and accurately rank the ability of molecules to inhibit telomerase activity. It is based on the method of Orlando and co-workers which utilizes PicoGreen to detect dsDNA formed during the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of telomerase products. PCR cycles were optimized to give as linear a signal as possible relative to telomerase products; 96-well streptavidin-coated PCR plates were used to isolate the preamplification telomerase products and to wash inhibitors away before the amplification step. The inhibitor removal step is critical to prevent false positives potentially caused by inhibition of Taq polymerase during amplification. Use of the streptavidin-coated PCR plate allows this step to be done much more rapidly than use of the liquid/liquid extraction adopted by others. We have demonstrated that this assay can correctly order the ability of four inhibitors to inhibit telomerase and reproduce within a factor of two the absolute IC(50) values determined by the more time-consuming direct assay. We have shown that the difference in IC(50) values determined in this assay versus the direct assay can be corrected for by using the standard curve appropriately. Using this method 96 compounds can be assessed in 3-5h.

Identification of novel non-hydroxamate anthrax toxin lethal factor inhibitors by topomeric searching, docking and scoring, and in vitro screening

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19928768

December 2009

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium. The lethal factor (LF) enzyme is secreted by B. anthracis as part of a tripartite exotoxin and is chiefly responsible for anthrax-related cytotoxicity. As LF can remain in the system long after antibiotics have eradicated B. anthracis from the body, the preferred therapeutic modality would be the administration of antibiotics together with an effective LF inhibitor. Although LF has garnered a great deal of attention as an attractive target for rational drug design, relatively few published inhibitors have demonstrated activity in cell-based assays and, to date, no LF inhibitor is available as a therapeutic or preventive agent. Here we present a novel in silico high-throughput virtual screening protocol that successfully identified 5 non-hydroxamic acid small molecules as new, preliminary LF inhibitor scaffolds with low micromolar inhibition against that target, resulting in a 12.8% experimental hit rate. This protocol screened approximately 35 million nonredundant compounds for potential activity against LF and comprised topomeric searching, docking and scoring, and drug-like filtering. Among these 5 hit compounds, none of which has previously been identified as a LF inhibitor, three exhibited experimental IC(50) values less than 100 microM. These three preliminary hits may potentially serve as scaffolds for lead optimization as well as templates for probe compounds to be used in mechanistic studies. Notably, our docking simulations predicted that these novel hits are likely to engage in critical ligand-receptor interactions with nearby residues in at least two of the three (S1', S1-S2, and S2') subsites in the LF substrate binding area. Further experimental characterization of these compounds is in process. We found that micromolar-level LF inhibition can be attained by compounds with non-hydroxamate zinc-binding groups that exhibit monodentate zinc chelation as long as key hydrophobic interactions with at least two LF subsites are retained.

Development of highly potent and selective diaminothiazole inhibitors of CDK2

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23600925

May 2013

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are serine/threonine protein kinases that act as key regulatory elements in cell cycle progression. We describe the development of highly potent diaminothiazole inhibitors of CDK2 (IC50 = […] μM) from a single hit compound with weak inhibitory activity (IC50 = 15 μM), discovered by high-throughput screening. Structure-based design was performed using 35 cocrystal structures of CDK2 liganded with distinct analogues of the parent compound. The profiling of compound 51 against a panel of 339 kinases revealed high selectivity for CDKs, with preference for CDK2 and CDK5 over CDK9, CDK1, CDK4, and CDK6. Compound 51 inhibited the proliferation of 13 out of 15 cancer cell lines with IC50 values between 0.27 and 6.9 μM, which correlated with the complete suppression of retinoblastoma phosphorylation and the onset of apoptosis. Combined, the results demonstrate the potential of this new inhibitors series for further development into CDK-specific chemical probes or therapeutics.

The Fungal Sexual Pheromone Sirenin Activates the Human CatSper Channel Complex

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26674547

December 2015

The basal fungus Allomyces macrogynus (A. macrogynus) produces motile male gametes displaying well-studied chemotaxis toward their female counterparts. This chemotaxis is driven by sirenin, a sexual pheromone released by the female gametes. The pheromone evokes a large calcium influx in the motile gametes, which could proceed through the cation channel of sperm (CatSper) complex. Herein, we report the total synthesis of sirenin in 10 steps and 8% overall yield and show that the synthetic pheromone activates the CatSper channel complex, indicated by a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular calcium in human sperm. Sirenin activation of the CatSper channel was confirmed using whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology with human sperm. Based on this proficient synthetic route and confirmed activation of CatSper, analogues of sirenin can be designed as blockers of the CatSper channel that could provide male contraceptive agents.

[…] Verizon – Data Scientist 
Location - Irving, TX 
A few Telecom customer service business problems have been solved based on data science algorithms; the business goal was to recognize main reasons for customer phone calls, and to reduce the number of calls: 
• Developed predictive classification models based on billing and demographic information for current and previous months. The models allow predicting a group of customers who most likely will call technical support next month; used a number of classification algorithms. Historical data reduced the classification error from 0.4 to 0.25.  
• Developed an approach overcoming low predictive accuracy of classification models. The approach is based on estimated probability of each item to belong to one or another class, and allows extracting a set of items with classification error 0.1-0.2 while the average classification error is about 0.4. 
• Developed an algorithm, which automatically analyzes a large dataset (up to hundred millions of records), and identifies all binary and continuous variables affecting the number of certain business events such as customer phone calls or churn, decline/approve, upsell/cross-sell, etc. The algorithm allows identifying real predictors in noisy data when traditional correlation analysis does not allow to see any correlations. 
• Developed a mapping method for visualizing and analyzing graphically large multidimensional datasets based on a systematic segmentation by a number of continuous variables. The method allows to substitute millions records of the source dataset by thousands records of a mapping dataset. The map allows to identify areas of the best and the worst business performance, and to see all internal dependencies between input and output variables in the source dataset. For instance, the mapping method allowed visualizing the group of accounts for the customers who will call/churn next month with the highest probability. 
• Developed an algorithm, which allows estimating probability of phone call (or another event) for each customer, and identifying a group of customers calling 5-10 times more frequently than others do. Applied the R package data.table to speedup calculations, and packages doSNOW and foreach to parallelize the computational process; implemented an approximation technique. As result, processing a large data set takes 40 minutes instead of 40 days; it was tested on data sets up to 20 million records. 
• Developed and implemented in R a text classification algorithm, which compares customers’ complaints for a regular month and complaints for a problematic month, when the number of complaints is doubled. The comparison allows extracting the most frequently used double words, typical only for the problematic month, and identifying a few the most typical for the problematic month complaints. Reading a few such complaints allows to quickly identifying main reasons why the number of complaints is doubled, and eliminates the necessity to read and analyze thousands of complaints. 
• Developed and implemented in R an approach representing a combination of events triggering a customer call, as a single item, and generated a frequency table for unique events’ combinations. The frequency table has shown that 5 of 2000 events’ combinations trigger 95% of customer calls, and all 5 events combinations are related to late and missed payments.  
 
Tools: R, R-Studio, Rattle, Hadoop, Teradata, Power Point. 
Algorithms: supervised and unsupervised machine learning, text classification with custom dictionary, PCA, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, numerical classification with training and cross-validation of predicting models -- Decision Trees, Random Forest, Bagging, Boosting Neural Networks, SVN, Logistic Regression, and different types of data visualization: histograms, cumulative histograms, PCA visualizations, scatter plots, visualization for cluster analysis results, visualizations for confusing matrix, own mapping method for visualization and interactive graphical analysis of large data sets up to terabytes.

May 2014 to October 2014

A few Telecom-specific business problems have been solved based on data science algorithms: 
Developed Net Promoter Score (NPS) predictive models based on NPS score and AT&T customers-reps 
communication texts and customer survey comments; used a number of text classification algorithms; 
implemented a voting algorithm based on several classification algorithm results. The prediction accuracy on testing data set is 0.85. The models predict if a given customer is promoter or detractor. 
Business scenario: If a model predicts that a given customer will be a detractor then AT&T has a chance to put more efforts for improving the customer's impression, and get a higher NPS score on the survey. 
 
Developed a classification model predicting if a given customer will upgrade his cell phone in an AT&T 
store, in Best Buy, or online; used a number of classification algorithms, and achieved prediction accuracy 0.8. 
Implemented in R a proprietary sensitivity analysis algorithm determining the most significant input 
variables; performed other types of exploration analysis: cluster analysis, PCA, histogram visualization for input/output variables, and applied different classification algorithms. 
Business scenario: if a given customer is predicted to make next upgrade in a store then AT&T offers him 
promotional conditions for online upgrade. 
 
An approach for developing a Recommendation System (RS) for personalized product upsell has been 
designed, which includes the following components: 
• A data repository convenient for performing segmentation by AT&T products and customer 
profiles; 
• A Map Reduce algorithm, which builds a frequency table for different types of upsell for a given 
group of customers; 
• Web service based RS, which returns a list of the most attractive upsells for a given customer, based on statistics/preferences for his/her group of customers; the RS matches the personalization 
requirement, and guarantees delivering a consistent customer experience across different touch 
points such as Call Center and COR Store. 
 
Tools: R, R-Studio, Rattle GUI extension for R-Studio, Hadoop, Hive, Power Point, 
Algorithms: Sensitivity Analysis, PCA, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, supervised and unsupervised 
machine learning, text classification with custom dictionary, numerical classification with training and cross- validation of predicting models; Neural Networks, SVN, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Bagging, Boosting,

June 2012 to January 2014

Developed a novel approach to advertisement spending optimization 
Experian uses several advertisement models simultaneously (CPC, CPM, CPA, Broadcast ad, etc.) The goal 
was to optimize ad spending in such a way that the traffic, the number of orders, and the number of new members 
will increase. In fact, four Experian websites compete against each other, which makes ad spending optimization 
task even more complicated. 
Collected ad spending and ad revenue data for 30 months and developed cross-validated prediction models by using ANN (artificial neural networks), which is a machine learning approach because ANN is build on a 
training data set, and is used as a predictive model. Then we optimized the ANN model, and applied a method of visualization and graphical analysis for multidimensional functions, that was patented in 2002 (patent […] 
By model exploration, found sub-regions of bad performance for each type of ad spending and developed 
recommendations to Experian on ads spending redistribution in order to increase revenue by 5-10%. 
The same approach was recommended to Experian for pricing optimization. 
Used Splunk, SiteCatalyst, Cognos to access data. 
Used Splunk's search language to develop customized Splunk queries for log files located on multiple 
servers. Performed Splunk searching and reporting, and advanced data visualization. 
Participated in implementation and using of A/B testing functionality in the core part of Experian web 
projects. Experian web sites have site versions saved in the database as html text. The difference between A & B 
site versions is a single element of a web page. The traffic is split equally (50/50) between A & B, resulting 
numbers (visits, orders, memberships) are saved in the database, and later we can decide which version is more 
efficient based on the resulting data. 
Implemented a project based on a supervised machine learning algorithm intended to analyze large volume of Like training data, and to build a histogram of the Likes, and a histogram of high frequency Like pairs. We 
were trying to answer the question "when a user likes A, they also like B", and show the most frequently occurring 
Like pairs. Final result of the project is developing a recommendation system, that (a) recommends Likes based on an inputted set of Likes, and (b) recommends users based on an inputted set of Likes. The inputted set of data 
can be considered as a testing data set for the supervised machine learning approach. Tools: Hadoop, Map Reduce, 
Python, R.

A common project with First American Corporation 
We've invented and patented a text data mining technology ("smart extract algorithm" - patent […] - a filter to extract from a data source all digitized documents related to given key words. The filter was used to query desired documents from a database containing 4.5 billion digitized documents (Big Data). An optimization 
algorithm allowed to tune the filter parameters based on a training set of marked up documents with known 
answers. As machine learning stage was time consuming, the text data mining component was implemented as distributed system on 10 computers to be continuously used by learning stage. 
A common project with Volkswagen 
Project targeted to development of parallelized multi-objective optimization on a cluster of […] 
computers. A new parallelized optimization technology has been invented for the project. 
A common project with General Electric 
Project targeted to development of a multi-objective optimization algorithm for optimizing a model of tomography equipment. The challenge was in highly oscillating objective functions and in unprecedentedly high 
task dimension (1620 design variables and millions of records -- Big Data). As a side effect of the Big Data 
phenomenon - we had to change architectural design of our system to avoid delays caused by the volume of information. 
The key part of the algorithm was a regression analysis used to build local approximations of objective 
functions based on 10-20 sample points. It was able to recognize the most significant independent variables in a 
local sub-region, and automatically build local approximations including just the most significant 10-15 (of 1620) 
independent variables. Thus, we were able to build accurate enough local approximations on 10-20 sample points in 1620-dimensional design space. 
The resulting optimization algorithm is 30 times faster compared to an alternative algorithm. 
A common project with Honeywell Aerospace 
 

Project targeted to optimization of an airplane engine. In order to accomplish a challenging optimization 
task, invented and implemented two hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithms HMGE and HMGP intended for global multi-objective optimization. The algorithms combine high convergence of gradient based technique with the ability of genetic algorithms to find global Pareto frontier. 
Common projects with Simulia, ESTECO, Ansys, Noesis Solutions 
Projects targeted to development of multiplatform plug-ins to provide eArtius optimization algorithms for most popular simulation and optimization products on the market: Simulia Isight, ESTECO modeFRONTIER, 
Ansys Workbench, and Noesis OPTIMUS.

Pareto Frontier 
It allows moving along Pareto frontier from a given design towards a desired design with minimum number of steps. 
Implemented the novel Multi-Gradient Pathfinder (MGP) multi-objective optimization algorithm 
MGP allows reducing number of evaluations by orders of magnitude compared to traditional algorithms. It 
is based on Directed Optimization on Pareto Frontier paradigm. 
Invented and patented a gradient-based technique which determines a direction of simultaneous 
improvement for all objective functions, and gradient based multi-objective optimization algorithm 
based on the technique: Multi-Gradient Explorer (MGE) 
The algorithm is very efficient for computationally expensive simulation models, and allows finding a Pareto 
optimal point typically after 7-15 model evaluations. 
Invented a breakthrough Dynamically Dimensional Response Surface (DDRS) method 
DDRS automatically recognizes the most significant design variables on each optimization step, and allows 
performing optimization in a small subset of significant variables regardless of the task dimension. All known 
Response Surface Methods are limited by 20-30 design variables. DDRS is the only Response Surface Method 
that is not limited by the dimension of optimization task. It works equally well with 10 and with 10,000 design 
variables. 
Led a development team for main Multistat product - desktop application Pareto Explorer (PE) 
PE product was designed for performing process integration, optimization, data analysis, data and models 
visualization, and networking. Performed architectural and functional design, GUI design, distributed 
communication design. Supervised development and testing of each functional component, including all 
algorithms and visualization, process integration and networking components. PE is a large project including about 10,000 files in C++. 
Invented, implemented, and patented a new method of visualization and graphical analysis of multi- dimensional functions 
Public domain methods allow visualizing 2- and 3-dimensional functions. New method can be used for visualizing functions with dozens and even hundreds of dependent and independent variables.

A linker strategy for trans-FRET assay to determine activation intermediate of NEDDylation cascade

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bit.25183/abstract

January 24, 2014

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology has been widely used in biological and biomedical research and is a valuable tool for elucidating molecular interactions in vitro and in vivo. Quantitative FRET analysis is a powerful method for determining biochemical parameters and molecular distances at nanometer levels. Recently, we reported theoretical developments and experimental procedures for determining the dissociation constant, Kd and enzymatic kinetics parameters, Kcat and KM, of protein interactions with the engineered FRET pair, CyPet and YPet. The strong FRET signal from this pair made these developments possible. However, the direct link of fluorescent proteins with proteins of interests may interfere with the folding of some fusion proteins. Here, we report a new protein engineering strategy for improving FRET signals by adding a linker between the fluorescent protein and the targeted protein. This improvement allowed us to follow the covalent conjugation of NEDD8 to its E2 ligase in the presence of E1 and ATP, which was difficult to determine without linker. Three linkers, LAEAAAKEAA, TSGSPGLQEFGT, and LAAALAAA, which are alpha helix or random coil, all significantly improved the FRET signals. Our results show a general methodology for improving trans-FRET signals to effectively determine biochemical reaction intermediates.

Target SUMOylation and other UBL pathways for drug discovery

January 10, 2011

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and UBL 
pathways, such as SUMOylation and NEDDylation 
are critical in protein homeostasis and activities 
in vivo and are emerging as the target of new 
strategies to treat many acute and chronic human 
diseases, such as infections, inflammation and 
cancers. Cytokines, including interferons (IFNs) 
and Toll-like receptors, are the first line of 
defense for host and have crucial roles in inducing 
immune responses to the invading pathogens. 
SUMOylation inhibits the signaling pathways of 
IFNs and Toll-like receptors, the JAK-STAT and 
the NFκB pathways, respectively. NEDDylation 
is required for activating the Cullin family 
proteins, which mediate protein degradation as 
part of apoptosis in many solid tumors. Although 
only one proteasome inhibitor with a novel 
mechanism has been approved for marketing so 
far, targeting SUMOylation and other UBLs could 
lead to a new paradigm for therapeutic agents for 
a variety of pathological conditions. Recently, 
the first NEDDylation inhibitor, MLN4924, was 
shown to have great potential as a novel anti-tumor 
drug and is in clinical development. A family of 
other UBLs is emerging as different protein 
modifiers for different biological processes and 
may serve as potential drug targets in the future.

Impacts of global warming on Northern Hemisphere winter storm tracks in the CMIP5 model suite.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50286/abstract

May 17, 2013

A key question in assessing how global warming may affect climate is how it may impact day-to-day weather. To help answer this question, we evaluate the frequency and intensity of northern hemisphere storm tracks in the National Center for Climate Prediction reanalysis I dataset, and the historical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 climate scenarios featured in the CMIP5 simulations. We found that a warmer climate resulted in a general decrease in storm frequency in midlatitudes, especially in RCP8.5. In contrast, frequency trends in the reanalysis data reflected an increase in the North Pacific consistent with a shift towards a positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation and more frequent El Niño events post mid-1970s. An examination of frequency and intensity trends in the active storm track regions of the North Pacific and North Atlantic showed that a significant decrease in storm track frequency was evident for RCP8.5. In contrast, intensity trends were dichotomous, with RCP8.5 exhibiting an increase in intensity in the North Atlantic active storm track region and a decrease in intensity in the North Pacific active storm track region. Poleward of these regions, a significant decrease in storm intensity in the North Atlantic and a significant increase in intensity in the North Pacific in RCP8.5 occurred. We also examined the intensity distribution of storms in the active storm track regions of the North Atlantic and North Pacific and determined that the models produced weaker storms with reduced variability relative to reanalysis data regardless of external climate forcing.

Contributed to gene and variant curation efforts of the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) (www.clinicalgenome .org). 
• Development of a gene curation framework to determine clinical validity of a given gene-disease pair with a focus on genes currently offered for testing in gene panels. This work included participating in the development of a web-application to facilitate gene-curation. As a part of the core gene curation process group, I helped define the key variables and data types essential for curation of published literature in a systematic manner (publication in preparation for Nature Genetics). 
 
• Application of ClinGen's gene curation framework to hereditary cancer genes with an initial application to pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (Pheo/PGL) susceptibility genes. This work was selected for an oral presentation at the 2015 ASHG meeting and a first-author publication is in preparation. 
 
• Implementation of a pathogenicity calculator that assists in making variant assertions based on the 2015 ACMG variant interpretation guidelines. I worked to ensure that the output of the calculator is consistent with the expected output according to new ACMG guidelines and was a beta-tester in applying the calculator to Pheo/PGL genes and the CSER (Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research) variant bake-off assessment. 
 
• Refinement of ACMG variant guidelines as applied to sequence variants reported for PTEN in the literature and ClinVar including analyzing allele frequencies and pathogenicity predictions (by various algorithms). My work as a part of the ClinGen supported PTEN sequence variant working group helped to define the optimal criteria for computational evidence and allele frequency threshold for pathogenicity assertions of PTEN variants in PTEN-Hamartoma tumor syndrome. 
 
• Gene curation efforts of ClinGen clinical domain expert panels. Using the ClinGen gene curation framework I have generated clinical validity assertions for several gene:disease pairs within the purview of Hereditary breast/ovarian cancer expert panels. 
 
• Development of guidelines for optimal use of in silico algorithms in predicting pathogenicity of variants in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. To assess whether disease mechanism affects predictability of in silico algorithms I obtained all missense variants in 29 oncogenes and 50 tumor suppressor genes, classified based on their pattern of mutations in COSMIC, from the ClinVar database and annotated them with 20 computational algorithms. Analysis of these variants suggests that disease mechanism needs to be taken into consideration when deciding on algorithms for predicting pathogenicity.

Biological data pathway analysis, etc. 
 
Projects 
A two-state discrete Markov Chain model in Systemic Scleroderma case-control study 
Utilize the knowledge learned in course "Stochastic Process in Biostatistics I", I treated the gene expression 
profile over 5 time points from a Systemic Scleroderma case-control study, to be a two-state discrete Markov 
chain problem. Using MLE to derive the estimator from formulated likelihood function, I was able to test the null hypothesis that theta (gene expression fluctuation tendency) and/or p (transition probability) are 
equal between case and control via several Likelihood-Ratio tests. The results were validated by another 
classical method - linear mixed effect model, besides consistency, the Markov chain method gave some 
novel implications. 
Functional data analysis in Systemic Scleroderma case-control study 
Utilize the knowledge learned in course "Resampling and Nonparametric techniques in Biostatistics", I 
treated the gene expression profile over 5 time points from a Systemic Scleroderma case-control study, to be a functional object - a function f of response variable Y over time or space. I tried several basis expansion 
methods including B-spline, quadratic and cubic splines; I optimized the roughness penalty using CV and 
GCV. In the end I fitted the data by functional linear models. R package 'fda' was used. Due to lack of analytic forms, the pvalue and confidence interval of betas (e.g. SNP, case-control status) were derived by 
permutation. 
Hierarchical Bayesian Joint modeling of survival response and longitudinal measurements for AIDS 
patients in a randomized clinical trial 
Utilize the knowledge learned in course "Bayesian Data Analysis", I used Hierarchical Bayesian model to jointly model the survival data and longitudinal measurements of CD4 cells count for AIDS patients. Weibull 
distribution was used as the baseline hazard function for survival model part. Both longitudinal part and survival part are modeled by hierarchical Bayesian models. With shared random effect for subject i, we 
 
Page3 
were able to join two parts and get coefficient estimation using both parts' information. Due to we have a 
range of covariates, we selected the Bayesian model by DIC value taking into account possible covariate 
interactions. The joint modeling was proved to have greater power than fitting longitudinal data or survival 
data separately. The coefficient estimates are more close to underlying real value. 
Application of Machine learning methods and survival analysis on the Glioblastoma multiforme Gene 
Expression data 
Members:Yang Yang, Huirong Zhu 
Utilize the knowledge learned in course "Data Mining Methodology", we used weighted network clustering 
method (R package 'WGCNA') to classify whole-genome genes from microarray platform to tightly 
connected modules/clusters; with survival data, we used univariate Cox model to select a list of prognostic 
genes from whole-genome gene candidates. Then, we used hypergeometric test to test the module 
enrichment of prognostic genes and get a reduced list of 13 such modules. The genes within these 13 
prognostic modules are much fewer than initial genome-wide genes we were considering. We then applied 
Lasso/Ridge/ElasticNet regularized regression methods on 269 PCs (by PCA method) aggregated from 13 prognostic modules to do further variable selection (R package 'glmnet'). Similarly, we have also tried 
Random Survival Forest on the same 269 PCs (R package 'randomSurvivalForest'). In another part, we tried to see whether the prognostic modules can really separate apart patient subgroups according to different 
survival times. We used Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to do unsupervised consensus clustering of patients using 269 PCs, and evaluated the survival difference significance across patient subgroups using 
Kaplan Meier plot and log-rank test. The results demonstrated: 1, gene variable selection on GBM dataset with regard to survival response is not so effective; 2, however, the NMF separated the patients reasonably with regard to survival time difference, and complemented the classification power based on sole clinical 
information (age, treatment, life quality score, etc). 
Multiple projects involving extensive parallel computing on TACC 
Texas Advanced Computing Center (https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/) has world's 7th biggest high performance 
cluster "stampede", and some older ones like "lonestar". I have extensively utilized resources there for past projects, including my dissertation research and several projects already published in peer-reviewed 
journals. Codes are highly optimized in R and some parts calling C++ through Rcpp and RcppArmadillo. 
MPI, SOCKs and openMP protocols are used everywhere there to facilitate large scale parallel computing (as 
many as 1200 Xeon E5 cores). 
Adaptive Testing for Multitrait-MultiSNP Association in Generalized Estimating Equations with application to ARIC GWAS data 
Members:Yiwei Zhang, Yang Yang 
(Manuscript in preparation) The current practice of single trait-single SNP analysis in genome-wide 
association studies (GWAS) is underpowered to detect median-to-small effect sizes expected for common 
diseases. A potentially more powerful approach is multitrait-multiSNP analysis, which can also detect 
pleiotropic effects, shedding light on the underlying biology. However, a concern is that including many 
null (i.e. non-associated) SNPs and/or null traits in analysis may seriously impair power; since it is unknown 
 
Page4 which SNPs are associated and which ones are not, which in fact is the goal of association testing, it is 
difficult to choose which SNPs to be included in analysis, and hence it is desirable to have a test that can 
maintain robust power against the presence of null SNPs and/or null traits. In this paper, we extended an adaptive test, the so-called adaptive sum of powered score (aSPU) test and its weighted version (aSPUw) for single trait analysis to multiple trait analysis in the framework of the Generalized Estimating Equations 
(GEE). We applied the methods to both quantitative traits and binary traits. Through numerical studies, we 
showed that the aSPU and aSPUw tests were generally more powerful than several other commonly used 
methods, especially in the presence of many null SNPs.

RESEARCH 
Research Interest: Model Selection and Combination, High-dimensional Data Analysis, Statistical Learning 
• Nan, Ying and Yang, Yuhong (2014) "Variable Selection Diagnostics Measures for High- Dimensional Regression", Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics. Volume 23, Issue 3, 2014. We propose instability measures for high-dimensional linear regression with model selection. We also introduce the variable selection deviation measures that give one a proper sense on how many predictors in the selected set are likely trustworthy in certain aspects. We present numerical examples to demonstrate the utilities of the model selection diagnostic measures via simulations and a microarray data example. 
• Nan, Ying and Yang, Yuhong (2014) "Variable Selection Diagnostics Measures for generalized linear model", preprint. We extended the variable selection deviation in linear regression context to the generalized linear regression and propose a new weight function to calculate the VSD. Simulation and a real data example demonstrate the utility of these measures for application.

• Designed and implemented the changes required to extend support of our product to different types of Navy ships as well as any military branches. 
◦ The task required me to look at the existing code base, database and ISA server rules to implement the changes with minimal impact to the existing architecture and business rules. This accomplishment allowed our organization to get more customers because we are no longer limited to the NAVY or to one specific type of ship. Skills used: MSSQL, ISA, C# and ASP.NET MVC framework. 
 
• Designed and implemented the front and back end code for a data transfer routine. 
◦ This routine allows the migration of an application's Oracle and MSSQL databases to other server hosting the same application. This solved the issue for when submarines swapped crews by allowing crews to transfer their data between the afloat server and their ashore server. Skills used: VBScript, Oracle Data Pump, MSSQL, HTML Application (HTA), HTML, CSS, jQuery and JavaScript. 
 
• Designed and implemented a light weight application that simulates the environment in which our product runs. This includes the server configuration, database and interface points. 
◦ For this task I had to find all the interface points between our product and the production environment. I then created a mock layer to use instead of requiring the entire production environment, while keeping it lightweight and easy to set up. This increased productivity because developers are no longer dependent on having to test changes against a full production set-up. Skills used: MSSQL, Java, JBoss, Java Server Pages (JSP), Java Servlets.

Master of Science Thesis: 
Title of Study: POLYMER-PROTEIN BIOCONJUGATE MATERIALS 
 
Scope and Method of Study: 
The purpose of this research was to develop a synthetic bioconjugation method that could be potentially used to produce active materials for biomedical applications, such as hemoperfusion. Cross linked polyHEMA-based copolymers were used as a support, where the surface was chemically modified to introduce aldehydes and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters to attach polypeptides. Glucose oxidase was used as an example of a biologically active material to graft to the polymer particles. Enzymatic activity analysis was utilized to evaluate activity of the immobilized glucose oxidase. 
 
Findings and Conclusions: 
Introduction of aldehyde and NHS-esters to the surface of polymer particles allowed chemical bonding of proteins to the polymer, which was confirmed by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy as well as by gravimetry and elemental analysis. Experiments with the model oligopeptides have shown that aldehydes of the polymer preferred reacting with thiols rather than with amines of the oligopeptides. Grafting of glucose oxidase was more effective to the aldehyde functionalized polymer than to the NHS-ester functionalized polymer. The latter polymeric conjugate has shown a higher activity of the immobilized enzyme despite its lower weight fraction in the material. The covalently attached biomolecule was not lost during the reaction with glucose and activity of the conjugate material lasted through 5 consecutive experiment performed with the same sample.

2011 to Present

Many years' experience in Bioinformatics, including machine-learning, data mining and analysis on NGS and other high-throughput biological/biomedical data, computational pipeline development and bench laboratory experimental experience.  
A great passion in collaborative scientific research. Strongly self-motivated, worked very well both in individual and in team environments 
 
1. Provided excellent service for data mining and analyses. For the past several years, I have leaded a broad collaboration with PI from varieties of research fields including insect control, A.G. traits and many others. Even under heavy data and analysis loads, I have made a great efforts and able to respond to collaborators' requests in a timely manner and with an analysis depth far exceeding their expectation. As a result, we generated novel idea and working hypotheses. All my collaborations are classified as excellent in communication. As a matter of fact, I have been treated as an essential team member in many collaborating projects. 
 
2. Leading to develop analysis pipeline for cis-regulatory element/motif analysis. Cis-regulatory elements (CRE) are DNA binding sites for transcription factors, their identification and characterization are crucial to understand the mechanism in gene regulations. In DuPont Pioneer, CRISPR/cas9 for genome editing is one of the promising breeding technologies in improving germplasm. CRE analyses that help to identify CRISPR/cas9 target sites for genome editing will be an essential part of the technology. Over the past decades, numerous computational tools have been developed for de novo motif discovery. The promoter and CRM analysis, however, remains as a challenge due to factors, such as short and degenerate nucleotide sequences, high noise-signal ratios and a great range of positions relative to their regulated genes. For the past two months, we have made significant progresses to develop the is-regulatory element/motif analysis pipeline. We tested individual motif predicting programs and devised novel strategies to overcome some of the great challenges faced in our development. As a result, a perl-based prototype is developed with and has been used for motif analyses on genes on stage C and others critical for promoter design. Our investigation discovered known CRE as well as those that are novel. 
 
3. Developed experimental strategy for CRISPR/cas9 multiplexing for traits improvement: CRISPR/ Cas9 genome-editing platform allow multiplexing, that simultaneously inactivates multiple genes for highly efficient gene targeting. Subnetwork analysis allows identifying network modules key to regulate signaling pathway, biological processes and agronomical traits. Motif analysis allows identifying key DNA-binding regulatory elements. Our strategy is to smoothly integrate these analyses and provide a novel protocol for genome editing, focused on a network module, a group of tightly connectedly genes instead of individual genes, that we believed would offer a much better chance for success in crop improvement.

I have a 14 years work experience, from which 11 years were spent in the area of Natural Language Processing. I received my Ph.D. degree at University of Texas at Dallas for the work in semantic disambiguation of WordNet glosses and propagating syntactic and semantic constraints along paths of concepts in WordNet. 
I have worked at Language Computer Corporation for about 4 years, continuously improving the performance of their Question Answering system. I also designed several components of the LCC Power Answer system: a Word Sense Disambiguation module for open text, a Co-reference Resolution module, a module for searching for chains of semantic relations in WordNet and recently an Entity Merging module across documents. I addition I worked closely with the other modules: the syntactic parser, the logic prover, semantic parser, event detector. 
I continued my work in Natural Language Processing and Information Extraction at Janya Inc for 5 years, where I perfected my experience of designing an efficient semantic network based on WordNet, FrameNet, Propbank and VerbNet. I also implemented a state of the art system for event mention detection and I experimented with an unsupervised generative model based on Dynamic Bayesian Network. I also implemented a dependency parser based on shift-reduce grammar using supervised learning. Occasionally I worked on other projects like developing an app on Android platform. 
Given my ability to adapt my knowledge to new problems, I applied my Machine Learning knowledge for the problem of image recognition in videos at Nervve Technologies where I experimented with various Bayesian priors for a model based on mixture of Gaussian distributions.  
At Te-Mi, I designed a NLP engine in NLTK (Python) and a Dialog Management system for an intelligent agent based on BDI paradigm. 
I have 10 year experience with machine learning and how it applies to various Natural Language Processing tasks. I do have strong programming experience in C++, Java , and other languages.

The Matthew M. Welna Foundation

April 2015 to Present

The Matthew M. Welna Foundation was established in order to preserve the memory of the life of Matthew Welna. Matthew died tragically in the early morning hours of Friday March 20th, 2015 at the age of 25, leaving behind a grieving family and multiple communities of affected friends, colleagues and teammates. In life Matthew exemplified what it means to be human. A driven and passionate man, he excelled in both athletics and academics, graduating first from Sayreville War Memorial High School in 2008 and later with a Master’s Degree in accounting from Rider University in 2013. As a lifelong soccer player, Matthew achieved success and accolades at every level. His rare mixture of natural talent, tireless work ethic and extreme humility helped him become the first Sayreville soccer player to captain the varsity team as a junior. For those who knew him, Matthew will be remembered as a compassionate, generous and loving man who taught everyone he met how to live life with an open heart and an open mind. The Matthew M. Welna Foundation, therefore, will seek to uphold and carry on these virtues so that Matthew’s impact lives on. 
 
Our mission is to further the legacy of Matthew Welna by establishing a scholarship awarded annually to the Sayreville War Memorial High School senior and Rider University division one soccer player who most embody the compassion, drive and humility that defined Matthew’s time on this world. In doing so we hope to extend his impact and inspire present and future generations to lead selfless lives with open hearts.

My training and interests are in statistics/biostatistics, image and signal processing, and scientific programming and computing. I tend more towards application and implementation rather than theory. Although most of my experience thus far has dealt with biomedical data, especially functional neuroimaging data, I am interested in all sorts of data. Positions that might fit me well include but are not limited to Biostatistician, Statistician, Statistical Consultant, Scientific Programmer, Imaging Scientist, Engineer, or Data Scientist.

In my current position, I provide statistical support to the Division of Intramural Population Health Research (DIPHR), of the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development, NIH. Responsibilities include data quality checks, data cleaning and manipulation, management of large data sets, computing descriptive statistics, and performing statistical analyses and creating publication-ready data tables and plots for papers to be submitted to peer-reviewed journals. I have addressed problems of missing data using multiple imputation, with Box-Cox transformation if necessary. Statistical analyses include survival analyses with right censoring, with or without left truncation, with or without time-varying covariates; generalized additive models with mixed effects (GAMM); general linear models such as ANOVA and multiple regression; chi-squared tests; non-parametric tests. I tend to use SAS for routine data processing and analyses, especially data cleaning and manipulation; but recently (February 2015) I did use SAS to perform a permutation test. I use R when a cutting-edge method is not yet available in SAS (e.g., GAMM), and for creating data plots (see especially the ggplot2 package). On occasion I might use MATLAB for simulation studies. Recently (early 2015) I have been using R to process and analyze an omics data set.

Research Scientist

Lundbeck Research USA, Inc

May 2014 to December 2015

Responsibilities 
Along with my team, I was responsible for the development and differentiation of the multimodal antidepressant vortioxetine from other antidepressants, identifying and managing collaborations with academic researchers and contract research organizations, supporting all non-clinical vortioxetine experiments with target occupancy data, and modelling the effects of vortioxetine on neuronal behavior. 
 
Accomplishments 
1) Played an integral role in identifying vortioxetine’s mechanism of action in improving cognitive function in patients with Major Depressive Disorder. 
2) Developed a theoretical model predicting that the serotonergic antidepressant vortioxetine indirectly enhances glutamate neurotransmission in a regionally-specific manner, which has been empirically confirmed. 
3) Designed and implemented a non-clinical program that demonstrated cognition enhancing effects of vortioxetine in animal models of depression and other diseases 
4) Developed target occupancy assays for the 5-HT transporter, as well as the 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT3, and 5-HT7 receptors. 
5) Developed receptor maps of the rodent brain for each receptor targeted by vortioxetine. 
 
Skills Used 
I demonstrated a number of my critical skills in this job. On a technical level, I used techniques such as ex vivo autoradiography, in vivo microdialysis, and behavioral pharmacology to understand how vortioxetine modulates neural activity and improves cognitive function. On a more theoretical level, I used my strong analytical abilities and my ability to integrate seemingly unrelated scientific information to develop a theoretical model that suggested vortioxetine would indirectly enhance glutamate neurotransmission in a regionally-dependent manner, likely leading to enhanced cognitive function. Furthermore, my strong communication and leadership skills helped to put together a scientific team that would later go on to empirically confirm much of the theoretical model I developed about vortioxetine.

Complex Permittivity of Planar Building Materials Measured With an Ultra-Wideband Free-Field Antenna Measurement System

http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/jres/112/1/v112.n01.a05.pdf

2007

Building materials are often incorporated into complex, multilayer macrostructures that are simply not amenable to measurements using coax or waveguide sample holders. In response to this, we developed an ultra-wideband (UWB) free-field measurement system. This measurement system uses a ground-plane-based system and two TEM half-horn antennas to transmit and receive the RF signal. The material samples are placed between the antennas, andreflection and transmission measurements made. Digital signal processing techniques are then applied to minimize environmental and systematic effects. The processed data are compared to a plane-wave model to extract the material properties with optimization software based on genetic algorithms.

Verification of an EMC Facility Retrofit by Time-Domain and Field Uniformity Measurements

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4305683&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D4305683

2007

Time-domain and field uniformity measurements from 30 MHz to 6 GHz were used to verify performance due to a retrofit of RF absorber in an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance chamber. After the retrofit a standard IEC 61000-4-3(Al) test volume uniformity assessment was performed. These results show that the RF absorber retrofit resulted in improved radiated emissions and immunity performance.

Accomplishments 
Freelance Kaggle Projects: - Code can be found here - http://prsshini.github.io/ 
What's Cooking?  
The project involves predicting the dish's cuisine type with the set of provided ingredients. 
The training set is provided as JSON File which needs to be processed so it can be workable in R. JSON File was modified into a clean workable data-set using text processing like creating Corpus Vector, text mining, creating Document Term Matrix and removing Sparse terms . Similar processing was done on the test set as well so the predicted models can be applied to the test set. Then the classification models like Decision Tree, Random Forest, bagging,XGBoost and H2o Ensemble were applied on the data to find the accuracy of predictions. Dashboard Reports showing graphs of different trends before and after modelling were created using RConnection in Tableau. 
 
Telecom CHURN Data Predictions: 
This dataset with 3300+ observations with 23 variables, contains all the metrics about churners for a telecom company. The Churn information is one of the important aspect for a business to do an effective marketing. So this project is one good experience on how to predict the churners and non churners. This is a binomial classification problem and by creating a predictive model using different classification methods, the company will be able to detect churn before it happens. Gradient Boosted Decision Trees, Linear Regression, GLM, Bagging, Stacking, are some of the models applied on this dataset to predict the churners Vs Non-Churners on the test data set.  
Spam Email: 
The aim is to separate out spam emails from good (non-spam) emails. Thus, each observation (row) corresponds to one email. This labeled training dataset was created by taking a bunch of emails and having some human editors label each one of them as spam and non-spam so as to form the training set. 
This "turning of each email" into a set of (feature, value) pairs is a pre-processing step that is executed using some text processing script in R. The last two features, 'capital.run.length.longest', 'capital.run.length.total', look for occurrences of capitals in an email. This is useful because, most advertising emails tended to have lot of capitalized letters while non-spam emails usually lack many continuously occurring capital letters. Using these kind of assumptions, models were developed to predict the target value. After the model was developed, it was applied on each new email in order to classify it as spam or non-spam.

Tuning the Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation Properties of AB2O4 Spinel Nanocrystals: A (Li, Mg, Zn) and B (Mn, Co) Site Variants of LiMn2O4

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acscatal.5b00265

April 23, 2015

Transition metal oxides containing cubic B4O4 subcores are noted for their catalytic activity in water oxidation (OER). We synthesized a series of ternary spinel oxides, AB2O4, derived from LiMn2O4 by either replacement at the tetrahedral A site or Co substitution at the octahedral B site and measured their electrocatalytic OER activity. Atomic emission and powder X-ray diffraction confirmed spinel structure type and purity. Weak activation of the OER occurs upon A-site substitution: Zn2+ > Mg2+ > A-vacancy > Li+ = 0. Zn and Mg substitution is accompanied by (1) B-site conversion of Mn(IV) to Mn(III), resulting in expansion and higher symmetry of the [Mn4O4]4+ core relative to LiMn2O4 (inducing greater flexibility of the core and lower reorganization barrier to distortions), and (2) the electrochemical oxidation potential for Mn(III)/IV) increases by 0.15–0.2 V, producing a stronger driving force for water oxidation. Progressive replacement of Mn(III/IV) by Co(III) at the B site (LiMn2–xCoxO4, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5) both symmetrizes the [Mn4–xCoxO4] core and increases the oxidation potential for Co(III/IV), resulting in the highest OER activity within the spinel structure type. These observations point to two predictors of OER catalysis: (1) Among AMn2O4 spinels, those starting with Mn(III) in the resting lattice (prior to oxidation) result in longer, weaker Mn–O bonds for this eg1 antibonding electronic configuration, yielding greater core flexibility and a higher oxidation potential to Mn(IV), and (2) a linear free energy relationship exists between the electrocatalytic rate and the binding affinity of the substrate oxygen (*OH and *OOH) to the B site.

December 2002

A system is disclosed that enables intelligent environments comprised of physical spaces that sense and respond to the people and events taking place in them to dynamically influence environmental factors that affect them, such as the lighting, temperature, décor or background music. An intelligent environment in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention controls the selection of music played in a fitness center. Two different algorithms are utilized to arbitrate preferences in a shared environment: one seeks to maximize the average satisfaction of the inhabitants, the other seeks to maximize the equitable distribution of satisfaction among the inhabitants. The resultant system is an approach that affords effective environmental control.

June 2015 to Present

* Successful track record of leading many client projects as the primary or lead Data Scientist. Often selected for my wide range of skills and experience which span from data wrangling and scripting in Python, database cleanup in SQL, advanced model building in R/Python, and expertise in data visualization and Tableau dashboard development 
 
* Effectively led multiple client projects in which the client's supply chain needed to be replicated in a model to look for opportunities to reduce inventory investments in certain SKUs in distribution center locations by improving customer demand forecasts or optimizing their production and shipments. These projects contained a heavy Python, SQL, Tableau, modeling, and forecasting component. 
 
* For a client hoping to visualize and analyze the results of a free-form text response survey, I built a Tableau dashboard and R model that employed advanced natural language processing (NLP), text mining, and topic modeling methods to identify topics that were communicated in the free-form text survey responses. The client was able to filter and drill-down on topics of interest and immediately get the insights they needed. 
 
* Built a supply-chain optimization model using R that selects the optimal mix of suppliers to fill a request for proposal (RFP) to supply certain SKUs. Optimal suppliers were chosen based on a wide range of factors that were taken into account by leveraging the Simplex algorithm in R. Additionally, the R optimization model was fully integrated with a front-end Tableau dashboard to allow business users to interact with different scenarios and visualize the results. 
 
* Used Python to scrape Twitter data from the API for a social media sentiment analysis Tableau dashboard 
 
* Conducted a successful Market-Basket Analysis (MBA) for a client engagement project using R

* Promoted twice within first 1.5 yrs. 
 
* Responsible for delivering accurate quantitative demand forecast for $500MM marketing organization 
 
* Regularly providing data-driven, marketing-based analytic consulting to C-level executives 
 
* Built advanced marketing-mix models used to evaluate the effectiveness of individual marketing tactics and optimize the organization's investment strategy. Models frequently employed advanced quantitative modeling techniques (see "Skills") 
 
* Used R to develop an ordinary least squares (OLS) model to generate demand coefficients for forecasting daily sales call volume. The model optimized coefficients for each known variable that impacts sales calls such as day-of-the-week, week-of-the-year, holidays, seasonality, current marketing investments, competitor promotions, etc. By accounting for all of the known variables, the model was able to calculate the net effect of simultaneous variables and accurately forecast daily sales call volume for staffing purposes and media planning. Daily demand coefficients were optimized by minimizing the sum of squared absolute error (SSAE) of actual sales calls vs. forecast. 
 
* Completed various competitive intelligence analyses including quantifying the subscription losses and economic impact of a competitor's promotional pricing 
 
* Forecast and quantified the expected subscriber base lift Dish could expect to receive as the exclusive provider of the SEC and Pac-12 Networks among major competitors

* Gave various keynote presentations to the greater Marketing organization focusing on seasonal demand forecasting, as well as advanced applications of various analytic tools and techniques (R, SQL, Tableau, Excel). 
 
* Modeled and quantified the economic impact of various takedowns (a "takedown" is a disagreement between the content provider and the programming network that results in certain channels being removed from the programming lineup) 
 
* Developed several executive-level Tableau dashboards that integrate forecasts and business performance metrics contained in various SQL tables for effective data visualization (attendee of the 2014 Annual Tableau Conference in Seattle, WA) 
 
* Built an R model which forecasts sales call volume generated by all Direct Mail campaigns in the market at any given time (~170 simultaneous campaigns). Sales volume varied based on which stage a campaign is in its campaign, differing creative messaging, and targeted demographics. Additionally, developed accompanying Tableau dashboard to visualize campaign performance vs. forecast. 
 
* Provided ongoing support for direct response campaign strategy development, test, measurement design, and analysis

Characterization of a novel and selective CB1 antagonist as a radioligand for receptor occupancy studies

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21962575

November 15, 2011

Obesity remains a significant public health issue leading to Type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. CB1 antagonists have been shown to suppress appetite and reduce body weight in animal models as well as in humans. Evaluation of pre-clinical CB1 antagonists to establish relationships between in vitro affinity and in vivo efficacy parameters are enhanced by ex vivo receptor occupancy data. Synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel and highly selective radiolabeled CB1 antagonist is described. The radioligand was used to conduct ex vivo receptor occupancy studies.

Differentiation of the clinical CB1 antagonists ibipinibant, taranabant and rimonabant on the basis of ex vivo receptor occupancy and in vitro dissociation kinetics.

A selective small molecule agonist of the melanocortin-1 receptor inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokineaccumulation and leukocyte infiltration in mice.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16888084

August 3, 2006

It is well established that melanocortins are peptides that have potent anti-inflammatory activity. Recent research has focused on understanding which of the known melanocortin receptors mediates the anti-inflammatory actions of the melanocortins. The aim of this study was to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of a synthetic MC-1R agonist. BMS-470539 is a potent, selective, full agonist of human and murine MC-1R with EC(50) values in a cAMP accumulation assay of 16.8 and 11.6 nM, respectively. BMS-470539 dose-dependently inhibited TNF-alpha-induced activation of a NF-kappaB transcriptional reporter in human melanoma cells, which endogenously express MC-1R. In vivo studies with BMS-470539 demonstrated that subcutaneous administration of BMS-470539 resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced TNF-alpha production in BALB/c mice. In this model, the compound had an ED(50) of approximately 10 micromol/kg and a pharmacodynamic half-life of approximately 8 h. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the compound indicated that the compound had a t(1/2) of 1.7 h. In a model of lung inflammation, administration of 15 micromol/kg BMS-470539 resulted in a 45% reduction in LPS-induced leukocyte infiltration (an infiltrate comprised primarily of neutrophils). The compound was also effective in a model of delayed-type hypersensitivity, reducing paw swelling by 59%, comparable with that seen with 5 mg/kg dexamethasone. These studies demonstrate that a selective small molecule agonist of the melanocortin-1 receptor is a potent anti-inflammatory agent in vivo and provides compelling evidence for the involvement of this receptor in the modulation of inflammation.

[…] Verizon – Data Scientist 
Location - Irving, TX 
A few Telecom customer service business problems have been solved based on data science algorithms; the business goal was to recognize main reasons for customer phone calls, and to reduce the number of calls: 
• Developed predictive classification models based on billing and demographic information for current and previous months. The models allow predicting a group of customers who most likely will call technical support next month; used a number of classification algorithms. Historical data reduced the classification error from 0.4 to 0.25.  
• Developed an approach overcoming low predictive accuracy of classification models. The approach is based on estimated probability of each item to belong to one or another class, and allows extracting a set of items with classification error 0.1-0.2 while the average classification error is about 0.4. 
• Developed an algorithm, which automatically analyzes a large dataset (up to hundred millions of records), and identifies all binary and continuous variables affecting the number of certain business events such as customer phone calls or churn, decline/approve, upsell/cross-sell, etc. The algorithm allows identifying real predictors in noisy data when traditional correlation analysis does not allow to see any correlations. 
• Developed a mapping method for visualizing and analyzing graphically large multidimensional datasets based on a systematic segmentation by a number of continuous variables. The method allows to substitute millions records of the source dataset by thousands records of a mapping dataset. The map allows to identify areas of the best and the worst business performance, and to see all internal dependencies between input and output variables in the source dataset. For instance, the mapping method allowed visualizing the group of accounts for the customers who will call/churn next month with the highest probability. 
• Developed an algorithm, which allows estimating probability of phone call (or another event) for each customer, and identifying a group of customers calling 5-10 times more frequently than others do. Applied the R package data.table to speedup calculations, and packages doSNOW and foreach to parallelize the computational process; implemented an approximation technique. As result, processing a large data set takes 40 minutes instead of 40 days; it was tested on data sets up to 20 million records. 
• Developed and implemented in R a text classification algorithm, which compares customers’ complaints for a regular month and complaints for a problematic month, when the number of complaints is doubled. The comparison allows extracting the most frequently used double words, typical only for the problematic month, and identifying a few the most typical for the problematic month complaints. Reading a few such complaints allows to quickly identifying main reasons why the number of complaints is doubled, and eliminates the necessity to read and analyze thousands of complaints. 
• Developed and implemented in R an approach representing a combination of events triggering a customer call, as a single item, and generated a frequency table for unique events’ combinations. The frequency table has shown that 5 of 2000 events’ combinations trigger 95% of customer calls, and all 5 events combinations are related to late and missed payments.  
 
Tools: R, R-Studio, Rattle, Hadoop, Teradata, Power Point. 
Algorithms: supervised and unsupervised machine learning, text classification with custom dictionary, PCA, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, numerical classification with training and cross-validation of predicting models -- Decision Trees, Random Forest, Bagging, Boosting Neural Networks, SVN, Logistic Regression, and different types of data visualization: histograms, cumulative histograms, PCA visualizations, scatter plots, visualization for cluster analysis results, visualizations for confusing matrix, own mapping method for visualization and interactive graphical analysis of large data sets up to terabytes.

May 2014 to October 2014

A few Telecom-specific business problems have been solved based on data science algorithms: 
Developed Net Promoter Score (NPS) predictive models based on NPS score and AT&T customers-reps 
communication texts and customer survey comments; used a number of text classification algorithms; 
implemented a voting algorithm based on several classification algorithm results. The prediction accuracy on testing data set is 0.85. The models predict if a given customer is promoter or detractor. 
Business scenario: If a model predicts that a given customer will be a detractor then AT&T has a chance to put more efforts for improving the customer's impression, and get a higher NPS score on the survey. 
 
Developed a classification model predicting if a given customer will upgrade his cell phone in an AT&T 
store, in Best Buy, or online; used a number of classification algorithms, and achieved prediction accuracy 0.8. 
Implemented in R a proprietary sensitivity analysis algorithm determining the most significant input 
variables; performed other types of exploration analysis: cluster analysis, PCA, histogram visualization for input/output variables, and applied different classification algorithms. 
Business scenario: if a given customer is predicted to make next upgrade in a store then AT&T offers him 
promotional conditions for online upgrade. 
 
An approach for developing a Recommendation System (RS) for personalized product upsell has been 
designed, which includes the following components: 
• A data repository convenient for performing segmentation by AT&T products and customer 
profiles; 
• A Map Reduce algorithm, which builds a frequency table for different types of upsell for a given 
group of customers; 
• Web service based RS, which returns a list of the most attractive upsells for a given customer, based on statistics/preferences for his/her group of customers; the RS matches the personalization 
requirement, and guarantees delivering a consistent customer experience across different touch 
points such as Call Center and COR Store. 
 
Tools: R, R-Studio, Rattle GUI extension for R-Studio, Hadoop, Hive, Power Point, 
Algorithms: Sensitivity Analysis, PCA, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, supervised and unsupervised 
machine learning, text classification with custom dictionary, numerical classification with training and cross- validation of predicting models; Neural Networks, SVN, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Bagging, Boosting, 
Maximum Entropy, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Map Reduce, and different types of data 
visualization: histograms, cumulative histograms, PCA visualizations, scatter plots, visualization for cluster 
analysis results, visualizations for confusing matrix.

Experian

June 2012 to January 2014

Developed a novel approach to advertisement spending optimization 
Experian uses several advertisement models simultaneously (CPC, CPM, CPA, Broadcast ad, etc.) The goal 
was to optimize ad spending in such a way that the traffic, the number of orders, and the number of new members 
will increase. In fact, four Experian websites compete against each other, which makes ad spending optimization 
task even more complicated. 
Collected ad spending and ad revenue data for 30 months and developed cross-validated prediction models by using ANN (artificial neural networks), which is a machine learning approach because ANN is build on a 
training data set, and is used as a predictive model. Then we optimized the ANN model, and applied a method of visualization and graphical analysis for multidimensional functions, that was patented in 2002 (patent […] 
By model exploration, found sub-regions of bad performance for each type of ad spending and developed 
recommendations to Experian on ads spending redistribution in order to increase revenue by 5-10%. 
The same approach was recommended to Experian for pricing optimization. 
Used Splunk, SiteCatalyst, Cognos to access data. 
Used Splunk's search language to develop customized Splunk queries for log files located on multiple 
servers. Performed Splunk searching and reporting, and advanced data visualization. 
Participated in implementation and using of A/B testing functionality in the core part of Experian web 
projects. Experian web sites have site versions saved in the database as html text. The difference between A & B 
site versions is a single element of a web page. The traffic is split equally (50/50) between A & B, resulting 
numbers (visits, orders, memberships) are saved in the database, and later we can decide which version is more 
efficient based on the resulting data. 
Implemented a project based on a supervised machine learning algorithm intended to analyze large volume of Like training data, and to build a histogram of the Likes, and a histogram of high frequency Like pairs. We 
were trying to answer the question "when a user likes A, they also like B", and show the most frequently occurring 
Like pairs. Final result of the project is developing a recommendation system, that (a) recommends Likes based on an inputted set of Likes, and (b) recommends users based on an inputted set of Likes. The inputted set of data 
can be considered as a testing data set for the supervised machine learning approach. Tools: Hadoop, Map Reduce,

June 2007 to May 2012

A common project with First American Corporation 
We've invented and patented a text data mining technology ("smart extract algorithm" - patent […] - a filter to extract from a data source all digitized documents related to given key words. The filter was used to query desired documents from a database containing 4.5 billion digitized documents (Big Data). An optimization 
algorithm allowed to tune the filter parameters based on a training set of marked up documents with known 
answers. As machine learning stage was time consuming, the text data mining component was implemented as distributed system on 10 computers to be continuously used by learning stage. 
A common project with Volkswagen 
Project targeted to development of parallelized multi-objective optimization on a cluster of […] 
computers. A new parallelized optimization technology has been invented for the project. 
A common project with General Electric 
Project targeted to development of a multi-objective optimization algorithm for optimizing a model of tomography equipment. The challenge was in highly oscillating objective functions and in unprecedentedly high 
task dimension (1620 design variables and millions of records -- Big Data). As a side effect of the Big Data 
phenomenon - we had to change architectural design of our system to avoid delays caused by the volume of information. 
The key part of the algorithm was a regression analysis used to build local approximations of objective 
functions based on 10-20 sample points. It was able to recognize the most significant independent variables in a 
local sub-region, and automatically build local approximations including just the most significant 10-15 (of 1620) 
independent variables. Thus, we were able to build accurate enough local approximations on 10-20 sample points in 1620-dimensional design space. 
The resulting optimization algorithm is 30 times faster compared to an alternative algorithm. 
A common project with Honeywell Aerospace 
 

Project targeted to optimization of an airplane engine. In order to accomplish a challenging optimization 
task, invented and implemented two hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithms HMGE and HMGP intended for global multi-objective optimization. The algorithms combine high convergence of gradient based technique with the ability of genetic algorithms to find global Pareto frontier. 
Common projects with Simulia, ESTECO, Ansys, Noesis Solutions 
Projects targeted to development of multiplatform plug-ins to provide eArtius optimization algorithms for most popular simulation and optimization products on the market: Simulia Isight, ESTECO modeFRONTIER, 
Ansys Workbench, and Noesis OPTIMUS.

1999 to 2007

Invented and patented a new paradigm of multi-objective optimization - Directed Optimization on 
Pareto Frontier 
It allows moving along Pareto frontier from a given design towards a desired design with minimum number of steps. 
Implemented the novel Multi-Gradient Pathfinder (MGP) multi-objective optimization algorithm 
MGP allows reducing number of evaluations by orders of magnitude compared to traditional algorithms. It 
is based on Directed Optimization on Pareto Frontier paradigm. 
Invented and patented a gradient-based technique which determines a direction of simultaneous 
improvement for all objective functions, and gradient based multi-objective optimization algorithm 
based on the technique: Multi-Gradient Explorer (MGE) 
The algorithm is very efficient for computationally expensive simulation models, and allows finding a Pareto 
optimal point typically after 7-15 model evaluations. 
Invented a breakthrough Dynamically Dimensional Response Surface (DDRS) method 
DDRS automatically recognizes the most significant design variables on each optimization step, and allows 
performing optimization in a small subset of significant variables regardless of the task dimension. All known 
Response Surface Methods are limited by 20-30 design variables. DDRS is the only Response Surface Method 
that is not limited by the dimension of optimization task. It works equally well with 10 and with 10,000 design 
variables. 
Led a development team for main Multistat product - desktop application Pareto Explorer (PE) 
PE product was designed for performing process integration, optimization, data analysis, data and models 
visualization, and networking. Performed architectural and functional design, GUI design, distributed 
communication design. Supervised development and testing of each functional component, including all 
algorithms and visualization, process integration and networking components. PE is a large project including about 10,000 files in C++. 
Invented, implemented, and patented a new method of visualization and graphical analysis of multi- dimensional functions 
Public domain methods allow visualizing 2- and 3-dimensional functions. New method can be used for visualizing functions with dozens and even hundreds of dependent and independent variables.

A linker strategy for trans-FRET assay to determine activation intermediate of NEDDylation cascade

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bit.25183/abstract

January 24, 2014

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology has been widely used in biological and biomedical research and is a valuable tool for elucidating molecular interactions in vitro and in vivo. Quantitative FRET analysis is a powerful method for determining biochemical parameters and molecular distances at nanometer levels. Recently, we reported theoretical developments and experimental procedures for determining the dissociation constant, Kd and enzymatic kinetics parameters, Kcat and KM, of protein interactions with the engineered FRET pair, CyPet and YPet. The strong FRET signal from this pair made these developments possible. However, the direct link of fluorescent proteins with proteins of interests may interfere with the folding of some fusion proteins. Here, we report a new protein engineering strategy for improving FRET signals by adding a linker between the fluorescent protein and the targeted protein. This improvement allowed us to follow the covalent conjugation of NEDD8 to its E2 ligase in the presence of E1 and ATP, which was difficult to determine without linker. Three linkers, LAEAAAKEAA, TSGSPGLQEFGT, and LAAALAAA, which are alpha helix or random coil, all significantly improved the FRET signals. Our results show a general methodology for improving trans-FRET signals to effectively determine biochemical reaction intermediates.

Target SUMOylation and other UBL pathways for drug discovery

January 10, 2011

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and UBL 
pathways, such as SUMOylation and NEDDylation 
are critical in protein homeostasis and activities 
in vivo and are emerging as the target of new 
strategies to treat many acute and chronic human 
diseases, such as infections, inflammation and 
cancers. Cytokines, including interferons (IFNs) 
and Toll-like receptors, are the first line of 
defense for host and have crucial roles in inducing 
immune responses to the invading pathogens. 
SUMOylation inhibits the signaling pathways of 
IFNs and Toll-like receptors, the JAK-STAT and 
the NFκB pathways, respectively. NEDDylation 
is required for activating the Cullin family 
proteins, which mediate protein degradation as 
part of apoptosis in many solid tumors. Although 
only one proteasome inhibitor with a novel 
mechanism has been approved for marketing so 
far, targeting SUMOylation and other UBLs could 
lead to a new paradigm for therapeutic agents for 
a variety of pathological conditions. Recently, 
the first NEDDylation inhibitor, MLN4924, was 
shown to have great potential as a novel anti-tumor 
drug and is in clinical development. A family of 
other UBLs is emerging as different protein 
modifiers for different biological processes and 
may serve as potential drug targets in the future.

Accomplishments 
Click Prediction System: Researched, developed and build end to end data pipe line for click prediction system for video ad campaigns that classifies high performing bid request segments from different ad exchanges. The system involves setting up a large scale ad log processing Spark based infrastructure for generating training data. The model is trained using Vowpal Wabbit online learning framework exploiting stochastic gradient descent, adaptive learning, per feature learning rate, L1 regularization for sparsity, Online Importance Weight Aware Updates, non linear features. The features weights are uploaded in Redis to be consumed by RTB Bidder. 
Technologies used: IPython, Scipy Stack, Scala, C++, Spark, Redis, Vowpal Wabbit, 
 
Spark Reporting Pipeline: A stand alone spark cluster was set up to read bid, impressions and events logs from S3/hdfs and process them using Spark based jobs.

Real Time Bidding Pricing Algorithm: Developed a Thompson Sampling based Dynamic Bayesian Bandit 
algorithm that can efficiently find the optimal bid price of a segment with desired win rate. The algorithm continuously 
explores the bid price landscape to see if the RTB environment has changed i.e. if the win rate distribution for a particular 
cpm bid price has changed or not and readily adapts to the change using beta posterior variance inflation based technique. 
• Ad Inventory Forecasting: Research and development of time series analysis based ad inventory 
forecasting system. Experimentation involved working with models like Holt-Winters exponential smoothing and Dynamic 
Linear Models. The final product involved ensemble of Level and Seasonal times 
series modeled via Kalman Filters.

The C2 domain and altered ATP-binding loop phosphorylation at Ser359 mediate the redox-dependent increase in Protein Kinase C-δ activity, Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2015; […]

http://mcb.asm.org/content/35/10/1727.long

2015

he diverse roles of protein kinase C-δ (PKCδ) in cellular growth, survival, and injury have been attributed to stimulus-specific differences in PKCδ signaling responses. PKCδ exerts membrane-delimited actions in cells activated by agonists that stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. PKCδ is released from membranes as a Tyr(313)-phosphorylated enzyme that displays a high level of lipid-independent activity and altered substrate specificity during oxidative stress. This study identifies an interaction between PKCδ's Tyr(313)-phosphorylated hinge region and its phosphotyrosine-binding C2 domain that controls PKCδ's enzymology indirectly by decreasing phosphorylation in the kinase domain ATP-positioning loop at Ser(359). We show that wild-type (WT) PKCδ displays a strong preference for substrates with serine as the phosphoacceptor residue at the active site when it harbors phosphomimetic or bulky substitutions at Ser(359.) In contrast, PKCδ-S359A displays lipid-independent activity toward substrates with either a serine or threonine as the phosphoacceptor residue. Additional studies in cardiomyocytes show that oxidative stress decreases Ser(359) phosphorylation on native PKCδ and that PKCδ-S359A overexpression increases basal levels of phosphorylation on substrates with both phosphoacceptor site serine and threonine residues. Collectively, these studies identify a C2 domain-pTyr(313) docking interaction that controls ATP-positioning loop phosphorylation as a novel, dynamically regulated, and physiologically relevant structural determinant of PKCδ catalytic activity.

Two protein kinase C isoforms, δ and ε, regulate energy homeostasis in mitochondria by transmitting opposing signals to the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

http://www.fasebj.org/content/26/8/3537.long

August 2012

Energy production in mitochondria is a multistep process that requires coordination of several subsystems. While reversible phosphorylation is emerging as the principal tool, it is still unclear how this signal network senses the workloads of processes as different as fuel procurement, catabolism in the Krebs cycle, and stepwise oxidation of reducing equivalents in the electron transfer chain. We previously proposed that mitochondria use oxidized cytochrome c in concert with retinol to activate protein kinase Cδ, thereby linking a prominent kinase network to the redox balance of the ETC. Here, we show that activation of PKCε in mitochondria also requires retinol as a cofactor, implying a redox–mechanism. Whereas activated PKCδ transmits a stimulatory signal to the pyruvate dehdyrogenase complex (PDHC), PKCε opposes this signal and inhibits the PDHC. Our results suggest that the balance between PKCδ and ε is of paramount importance not only for flux of fuel entering the Krebs cycle but for overall energy homeostasis. We observed that the synthetic retinoid fenretinide substituted for the retinol cofactor function but, on chronic use, distorted this signal balance, leading to predominance of PKCε over PKCδ. The suppression of the PDHC might explain the proapoptotic effect of fenretinide on tumor cells, as well as the diminished adiposity observed in experimental animals and humans. Furthermore, a disturbed balance between PKCδ and PKCε might underlie the injury inflicted on the ischemic myocardium during reperfusion.

Signaling Regulates Prostate Cancer Metastasis with Elevated Vav3 Expression Correlating with Prostate Cancer Progression and Posttreatment Recurrence.

http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/72/12/3000.long

June 2012

Prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the Western world. Yet current therapies do not significantly improve the long-term survival of patients with distant metastasis. In this study, we investigated the role of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav3 in prostate cancer progression and metastasis and found that Vav3 expression correlated positively with prostate cancer cell migration and invasion. Stimulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2 by ephrinA1 resulted in recruitment and tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav3, leading to Rac1 activation as well as increased migration and invasion in vitro. Reduction of Vav3 resulted in fewer para-aortic lymph nodes and bone metastasis in vivo. Clinically, expression of Vav3 and EphA2 was elevated in late-stage and metastatic prostate cancers. Among patients with stage IIB or earlier prostate cancer, higher Vav3 expression correlated with lower cumulative biochemical failure-free survival, suggesting that Vav3 may represent a prognostic marker for posttreatment recurrence of prostate cancer. Together, our findings provide evidence that the Vav3-mediated signaling pathway may serve as a therapeutic target for prostate cancer metastasis.

As a junior level environmental engineer specializing in sediment remediation projects, I have helped perform and design field investigations and final remedial designs. In a support role, I am skilled at programming in the IDL language for database management and analysis and for generating graphics, and I can generate complex spreadsheets and workbooks in excel with advanced querying and user input. I have coordinated the production of deliverables with AutoCAD and GIS drafters and am familiar enough with both programs to do basic edits myself. In the field, I have been a field lead for two different week-long remedial investigations that included coordinating labs and subcontractors surveying work and sediment sampling. On a multi-year RI/FS, I am a boat lead for a water sampling team and I have also worked on teams for biological sampling, groundwater well installation and sampling, and sediment core collection and processing. From college work experience and from field work air quality monitoring, I am familiar with air sampling techniques and with monitoring equipment. In all of these roles I am known as being very detail oriented and excellent at QA/QC.

A New Approach for Single-Event Effects Testing

December 6, 2010

A novel methodology for completely removing the silicon 
substrate of SOI devices for single-event effects testing is introduced 
and demonstrated using a 90 nm, 4 Mb SRAM test vehicle. 
Applications and significance are discussed.

Band gap engineered resistor for mitigating linear energy transfer sensitivities in deeply scaled submicron CMOS technologies

May 15, 2008

Use of cross-coupling latch resistors is a prime method of mitigating single event upsets (SEU). Scaling 
has dramatically reduced ability of using this technique because of the large area needed as well as high 
temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of lightly doped polysilicon resistors. We present results of a 
study of the electrical properties of Al1xInxN films resistor which offers distinct advantage over polysilicon 
resistors. The films were grown on silicon nitride by magnetron sputter deposition at room temperature. 
Sheet resistance in the range of 8–10 kX/h was reproducibly grown. The resistor film is thermally 
stable with TCR of less than minus 0.09%/C for temperature range of minus 55 C to +125 C. 
As the scaling of integration for memory circuits continue, the 
SEU of logic states due to ionizing radiation has become a basic 
limitation. In an SEU event, a single charged particle, (such as a cosmic 
ray, a recoiling nuclear reaction product) strikes a sensitive 
node of a memory cell and generates sufficient charge enough to 
change logic state of the cell.

Variable Depth Bragg Peak Method for Single Event Effects Testing

December 6, 2011

The Variable Depth Bragg Peak (VDBP) method for 
measuring the Single Event Effects (SEE) cross-section of an integrated 
circuit (IC) in a closed package as a function of ion linear 
energy transfer (LET) is described. The method uses long-range, 
high-energy heavy ions that can penetrate the package and deposit 
charge in the device’s sensitive volume (SV), the depth of which 
is not known. A series of calibrated energy degraders is used to 
vary the depth of the Bragg peak relative to the device’s sensitive 
volume. When the Bragg peak is located at the sensitive volume, 
the measured SEE cross-section is a maximum, as is the LET, 
which is calculated using a Monte Carlo-based program, TRIM 
that takes both straggling and spread in beam energy and angle 
into account. Degrader thickness is varied and the change in LET 
is calculated while the corresponding cross-section is measured. 
Good agreement was obtained between the LET-dependence of 
the single event upset (SEU) cross-section for a 4 Mbit memory 
in an unopened package using the above method and that for an 
identical de-lidded part previously measured.

Resistance to everolimus driven by epigenetic regulation of MYC in ER+ breast cancers

http://www.impactjournals.com/oncotarget/index.php?journal=oncotarget&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=2964&pubmed-linkout=1

February 10, 2015

Acquired resistance to PI3K/mTOR/Akt pathway inhibitors is often associated with compensatory feedback loops involving the activation of oncogenes. Here, we have generated everolimus resistance in ER+ breast cancer cells and in long-term estrogen deprived (LTED) models that mimic progression on anti-estrogens. This allowed us to uncover MYC as a driver of mTOR inhibitor resistance. We demonstrate that both everolimus resistance and acute treatment of everolimus can lead to the upregulation of MYC mRNA, protein expression and, consequently, the enrichment of MYC signatures as revealed by RNA sequencing data. Depletion of MYC resulted in resensitization to everolimus, confirming its functional importance in this setting. Furthermore, ChIP assays demonstrate that MYC upregulation in the everolimus resistant lines is mediated by increased association of the BRD4 transcription factor with the MYC gene. Finally, JQ1, a BRD4 inhibitor combined with everolimus exhibited increased tumor growth inhibition in 3D Matrigel models and an in vivo xenograft model. These data suggest that MYC plays an important role in mediating resistance to everolimus in ER+ and ER+/LTED models. Furthermore, given the regulation ofMYCby BRD4 in this setting, these data have implications for increased therapeutic potential of combining epigenetic agents with mTOR inhibitors to effectively downregulate otherwise difficult to target transcription factors such as MYC.

Novel neutralizing hedgehog antibody MEDI-5304 exhibits antitumor activity by inhibiting paracrine hedgehog signaling

http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/13/2/386.long

February 2014

The hedgehog pathway has been implicated in the tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis of numerous human cancers. We generated the first fully human hedgehog antibody MEDI-5304 and characterized its antitumor activity and preclinical toxicology. MEDI-5304 bound sonic hedgehog (SHH) and Indian hedgehog (IHH) with low picomolar affinity and neutralized SHH and IHH activity in cellular mGLI1 reporter assays. The antibody inhibited transcription of hedgehog target genes and osteoblast differentiation of […] cells. We evaluated the activity of MEDI-5304 in vivo in model systems that allowed us to evaluate two primary hypotheses of hedgehog function in human cancer, paracrine signaling between tumor and stromal cells and cancer stem cell (CSC) self-renewal. MEDI-5304 displayed robust pharmacodynamic effects in stromal cells that translated to antitumor efficacy as a single agent in an HT-29/MEF coimplantation model of paracrine hedgehog signaling. MEDI-5304 also improved responses to carboplatin in the HT-29/MEF model. The antibody, however, had no effect as a single agent or in combination with gemcitabine on the CSC frequency or growth of several primary pancreatic cancer explant models. These findings support the conclusion that hedgehog contributes to tumor biology via paracrine tumor-stromal signaling but not via CSC maintenance or propagation. Finally, the only safety study finding associated with MEDI-5304 was ondontodysplasia in rats. Thus, MEDI-5304 represents a potent dual hedgehog inhibitor suitable for continued development to evaluate efficacy and safety in human patients with tumors harboring elevated levels of SHH or IHH

Comparison of biochemical and biological effects of ML858 (salinosporamide A) and bortezomib

http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/5/12/3052.long

December 2006

Strains within the genus Salinospora have been shown to produce complex natural products having antibiotic and antiproliferative activities. The biochemical basis for the cytotoxic effects of salinosporamide A has been linked to its ability to inhibit the proteasome. Synthetically accessible salinosporamide A (ML858) was used to determine its biochemical and biological activities and to compare its effects with those of bortezomib. ML858 and bortezomib show time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of the proteasome in vitro. However, unlike bortezomib, which is a reversible inhibitor, ML858 covalently binds to the proteasome, resulting in the irreversible inhibition of 20S proteasome activity. ML858 was equipotent to bortezomib in cell-based reporter stabilization assays, but due to intramolecular instability is less potent in long-term assays. ML858 failed to maintain levels of proteasome inhibition necessary to achieve efficacy in tumor models responsive to bortezomib. Our results show that ML858 and bortezomib exhibit different kinetic and pharmacologic profiles and suggest that additional characterization of ML858 is warranted before its therapeutic potential can be fully appreciated.

Nanoparticle Self-Assembly 
I have led the research in our group on the synthesis and characterization of thermal responsive polymers, characterizing the polymers through various techniques such as GPC, DLS, FT-IR, and NMR. In addition, I have designed and optimized the functionalization of gold nanoparticles with the thermal responsive polymers. I have designed and optimized the characterization techniques required to quantify the presence of the polymer on the gold through various techniques such as DLS and FT-IR, in addition to techniques to study the thermal aggregation behavior of the polymer capped gold particles such as DLS and UV-vis with temperature. 
 
I further extended the use of the thermal responsive polymers to control the sequence specific hybridization of complementary single stranded DNA capped gold nanoparticles. I pioneered the design and fabrication of the DNA polymer capped gold as well as optimized the various characterization techniques which include, agarose gel electrophoresis to quantify the presence of DNA, as well as fluorescent CY3 experiments to quantify the DNA loading, in addition to DLS, FT-IR, and TGA to quantify polymer loading. The polymers ability to regulate the sequence specific hybridization of the single stranded DNA strands was characterized through DLS, kinetic studies using UV-vis, as well as UV-vis with temperature studies. 
 
Using the optimized parameters for the controlled sequence specific hybridization of DNA polymer capped gold particles, I studied the crystallization and assembly behavior of the systems using small angle x-ray scattering at Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). In addition to studying the crystallization I looked at the behavior of the single stranded spacer regions of the DNA with temperature changes.

Electron Tomography Technology Development

UCSD, National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR)
-
San Diego, CA
-

June 2006 to May 2007

Developed imaging technology for high throughput transmission electron tomography. The goal of this technology is to acquire 3D volumetric images (on the order of 50mm3) at nanometer resolution. While this would have various uses in biology, it has a key application in the brain where understanding the ultrastructure requires submicron resolution and volumetric images that elucidate the way neurons are "wired" in 3D. For the past year I have been designing and testing a high speed control system for a new mode of electron tomography based on electron beam movement rather than the traditional method of mechanical stage rotation. 
 
Characterized the expected 3D reconstruction quality evaluating the effectiveness of Fourier transform based deconvolution with various electron beam sweep patterns.

Developed a safe, conformable, flexible microelectrode array to interface with the human spinal cord could enable electronic activation of spinal circuits that a person has lost control of from spinal cord injury. I designed, fabricated, and tested a novel conformable 2D microelectrode array for spinal cord stimulation. The project gave me an opportunity to gain practical experience in microfabrication and electrophysiology experimentation. Results for this project have been published in the journal Biomedical Microdevices.

My program successfully evolved creatures with walking and block pushing behavior. The project received second place at Georgia Tech’s undergraduate research symposium, and I presented it at the undergraduate workshop of the 2004 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference.

Responsibilities 
Principal Research Scientist – Cheminformatics  
Schrodinger, Inc, New York, NY 
 
I lead the design and implementation of a new suite of cheminformatics and modeling tools and Graphical User Interface called Canvas that includes a comprehensive set of chemical fingerprints, molecular descriptors, and QSAR model building tools as well as substructure search and maximum common substructure perception as well as 2D and 3D coordinate generation. Underneath this tool is a scalable dynamic schema patterned after Google’s BigTable implementation and an efficient hitset processing and chemical data cartridge. Additional subsystems include clustering, dimensional reduction methods, r-group analysis,and diversity-based selection. 
 
Test-driven development and continuous integration were top company priorities and I learned a deep appreciation of the value of automated testing.

Senior Research Scientist

Pharmacopeia Drug Discovery, Inc
-
Princeton, NJ
-

September 2002 to April 2006

As a member of the Computational Chemistry Group, my primary duties involve using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom-made software tools to provide insight to a variety of Discovery and Lead Optimization projects. Some custom applications I have written involves mining frequent common substructures and pharmacophoric patterns for statistically-significant structure-activity relationships, pareto-multiobjective optimization of combinatorial libraries, rapid markush-space ADME/ tox profiling and protein docking of huge virtual combinatorial libraries, clustering, visualizing, and projection of high dimensional data, and machine learning. 
 
Another area of focus was designing computational workflows that were intuitively accessible to the bench chemist and simple to use. I found this problem to be deceptively difficult but ultimately surmountable once I gained a better understanding of the ways that medicinal chemists prefer to approach their work. 
 
Concurrent with my software development, I provided computational insight to lead optimization teams on 
A diverse set of targets such as BACE-1, Vasopressin receptor 1B, and CCR1 resulting in several US and EU patents. In the process, I learned a great deal about drug discovery and scientific creativity.

Senior Software Engineer

Accelrys , Division of Pharmacopeia Inc
-

March 2001 to September 2002

As a member of the Cheminformatics team, I served as project lead for three projects and met tight deadlines in every case. 
 
The first was a new Java-based application for chemical inventory management. This project demanded that I master Java Swing and Design Patterns, since it was to be written entirely in Java and was to prototype our move to EJB development by isolating the data tier on the client side. 
 
The second project was replacement of a legacy cheminformatics engine with a dedicated Oracle Cartridge that we had acquired. This project involved understanding the internals of both engines and plotting the most efficient migration plan. Implementation required extensive PL/SQL and server-side Java programming. Top performance was of the essence. 
 
The third project was a port of an HTS application from Access to Oracle. An initial prototype showed that mere attachment of the Oracle tables via Jet was far to slow, so we had to completely remove the Access Layer. I designed and coded a DAO proxy that talked to the Oracle DB and 
Supported all Access functionality such as parameterized views and Pivot joins. Other Access specific functionality such as auto number fields were likewise emulated. 
 
During this time I contributed to other projects including initial design of a new EJB layer for our cheminfomatics platform and a data-mining project to produce predictive models of ADME properties. I presented the 'lessons learned' during development of the Java data tier to the EJB team and provided significant input into designs. I prototyped implementations of hierarchical clustering, recursive partitioning, multivariate decision trees, adaptive boosting and genetic algorithms to facilitate development of new ADME models. 
 
Technologies employed: Java, Swing, EJB, JSP, JDBC, SQLJ, Design Patterns, Oracle 8i/9i, Oracle Built in C++/STL, XML/XSD/XSLT, Genetic Algorithms, Recursive Partitioning, CART, Access/VBA, Visual Basic, ADO, Excel plug-ins, UML, numerous Accelrys software packages, Daylight, MDL, IDBS, Isis, Chemdraw, Matlab, S-Plus, Perl/DBI, Crystal Reports, Pro*C, IDL, XMLSpy, JBuilder, JDeveloper, JBoss

February 1999 to March 2001

As a member of small team hired to design and code a groundbreaking PC-based H.323-complaint multipoint videoconferencing and application-sharing system on Windows NT4, I was given the opportunity to learn and master Windows Multimedia, COM, the Win32 Kernel and the Winsock APIs. 
 
The key concept for our product was adding the ability to do multipoint video calls without the need for expensive bridging (MCU) hardware (Peer-to-Peer). This required efficient software implementation of functionality done In hardware by other vendors. 
 
I implemented (in C++) audio and video compression algorithms including H.261 and G.711 according to ITU specification as DirectShow(COM) components. I also wrote a custom audio mixer to provide low latency. I was also responsible for profiling and tuning all of the above code. 
 
I also designed and coded most of the Graphical User Interface and implemented functions to load and store all system information from an LDAP data store. Later I assisted in adding MAPI32 data store support as well. 
 
I assisted in some optimizations including inline asm of other components such as an application-sharing component written by another programmer that was based on the VNC open source project. 
 
I also coded a server-side Java component to parse a proprietary protocol, translate into efficient SQL, then to return the results to a C++ client. 
 
Technologies employed: 
MS Visual Studio/C++, Borland C++ Builder, COM, DirectX, Direct3D, DirectShow, Win32 Kernel, Winsock, H.323, Video/Audio compression, MAPI32, LDAP, STL, Java, JavaCC, JNDI, Servlets, JProbe, JNI, Intel C++ Compiler and Profiler Suite, Intel MMX assembly, StarTeam, SNMP

January 1997 to February 1999

Initially I was hired to write inventory and schedule tracking modules for a legacy Facilities Management application after several other programmers had failed. The main issue was that a recent port from a DBASE format to SQL had significant problems. At the time I knew DBASE extremely well, but had had no prior experience with SQL. Within a few months I had succeeded on this project and was asked to the handle the port to SQL of the company's flagship product, a Utility Cost Accounting package. 
 
Since the amount of code was over 300,000 lines and database access code was embedded throughout, this could have been a large task. However, my strategy was to refine the technique I used in the prior package to emulate a DBASE seek call by constructing a dynamic bi-directional OBDC cursor that begins or ends with the current key value. I then exposed an interface that looked identical to the DBASE interface so no client code had to be changed. Furthermore, a requirement that the system work with Oracle. Sybase, and MS-SQL demanded that I understand the subtle differences between each and create another abstraction layer to hide this. 
 
Another achievement was to provide a general and efficient way to store hierarchical information in an SQL database. By adding two trigger-updated keys that sort the left and right edges of each node in prefix order traversal, sub trees may be extracted with a single non-reflexive SQL query. Allocation of keys was prepared such that heavy insertion and deletion did not impact performance. 
 
Later I added transparent data replication to this same application to allow sharing of data within an organization that lacked full-time connectivity. Essentially, I developed the equivalent of a disconnected ADO recordset before it existed as such. 
 
Next I was tasked with writing a high volume web application using Java and Oracle 8i to provide high-speed access to large volumes of data representing 15-minute interval data from "smart" electrical meters. Here, I designed the database schema and coded the server-side Java for this project. I was responsible for tuning/performance as well. I wrote some C code to call from within oracle process varrays of time series data, a poor man's data cartridge of sorts. I also assisted in writing a general ad-hoc reporting engine using XML Again I had no prior experience with either Java or Oracle, but the project was completed on time. 
 
Technologies used: 
Win32 API, Oracle 8i, Sybase Adapter Server, MS SQL 6.5 and 7.0, PL/SQL, T- SQL, Java Stored Procedures, ODBC, BDE, MAPI, Borland C++ Builder, Delphi, Visual Source Safe, Visual Intercept, Crystal Reports, STL, Java 1.1, JDBC, Publish-subscribe message buses, Object-Relational Mapping.

January 1995 to January 1997

Under contract to the US Army Corp of Engineers and as a team of three, I designed and implemented a complete project management system in MS-DOS according to customer functional specification. 
 
I had primary responsibility for database design, data validation, and business logic including the algorithm to implement Critical Path Method scheduling. 
 
I also wrote flexible interface for ad hoc reporting and designed a data replication module to allow disconnected sites to share data with central office without a full time data connection. 
 
I was also in charge of writing data import and export routines to interface with commercial Project Management systems including Primavera and MS Project. This required some reverse engineering of file formats. 
 
Technologies used: 
CA-Clipper, C, CA-Visual Objects, MS-DOS, Dbase, Graph Algorithms. Serial communications/Z modem. Data replication

1990 to 1995

I was tasked with single-handedly designing and implementing an integrated distributed point of sale package and Warehouse/delivery system in MS-DOS for a retailer with 7 locations. 
 
This was a fairly large system that was rolled out in stages. First, I did the point of sale functionality, then the basic warehouse functionality, then the integration of the two. Finally I added some optimizations and refinements to improve both program and business procedure efficiency. 
 
I was particularly proud of a routing heuristic I used to efficiently dispatch work crews and delivery personnel and an algorithm to optimize warehouse utilization. I also added support for bill-of-materials tracking, which requires storage of hierarchical dependencies. 
 
I also added intelligent restocking algorithms that anticipated inventory requirements based on past sales data. 
 
Technologies used: 
C, Clipper, Dbase, Visual Basic, Access, Zmodem, database replication

Image Analysis of the Golgi Complex (#U.S. Patent No. 7,151,847)

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7151847.html

December 2006

Methods, code and apparatus analyze cell images to automatically identify and characterize the Golgi complex in individual cells. This is accomplished by first locating the cells in the image and defining boundaries of those cells that subsume some or all of the Golgi complex of those cells. The Golgi complex in the images typically have intensity values corresponding to the concentration of a Golgi component in the cell (e.g. a polysaccharide associated with the Golgi complex). The method/system then analyzes the Golgi components of the image (typically on a pixel-by-pixel basis) to mathematically characterize the Golgi complex of individual cells. This mathematical characterization represents phenotypic information about the cells' Golgi complex and can be used to classify cells. From this information, mechanism of action and other important biological information can be deduced.
